IV

In dreams, unhappy, I behold you stand
      As heretofore:
The unremembered tokens in your hand
      Avail no more.

No more the morning glow, no more the grace,
      Enshrines, endears.
Cold beats the light of time upon your face
      And shows your tears.

He came and went. Perchance you wept a while
      And then forgot.
Ah me! but he that left you with a smile
      Forgets you not.
