II.

We walked along the terraced olive-yard,

And talked together till we lost the way;

We met a peasant, bent with age and hard,

Bruising the grape-skins in a vase of clay;

Bruising the grape-skins for the second wine.

We did not drink, and left him, Love of mine;

Bruising the grapes already bruised enough:

He had his meagre wine, and we our love.
