LXXIX.

Yes, they are the self-same eyes

That still brighten as I greet her,

Yes, they are the self-same lips

That made all my life seem sweeter.

Yes, it is the very voice,

At whose slightest tones I faltered

But no more the same am I;

I wend homeward strangely altered.

By the fair white arms embraced

With a close and tender passion,

Now I lie upon her heart,

Dull of brain, in cold vexation.
