II

I divine, through the veil of a murmuring,

The subtle contour of voices gone,

And I see, in the glimmering lights that sing,

The promise, pale love, of a future dawn.

And my soul and my heart in trouble

What are they but an eye that sees,

As through a mist an eye sees double,

Airs forgotten of songs like these?

O to die of no other dying,

Love, than this that computes the showers

Of old hours and of new hours flying:

O to die of the swing of the hours!
