The moon dips, like a pearly barge;
Enchantment sails through magic seas,
To fairyland Hesperides,
Over the hills and away.

Of beauty that’s born for an hour?

  Or how bravely we do;

      And the passion is past
Death comes at last.

An old Man’s Song.

For lonely men to bear.

Laughs through the abyss of radiance with the gods.

When the heart brings its dearest and its last
Then only will they hear—if then, if then!
