RETROSPECT

Now I have fallen out of love

A year or two, I hold review

Of all the things I used to do,

Turning with fingers rational

The closed leaves of my passional.

And I am quite amazed, by Jove!

Wholly incredulous I smile--

So hard it is to reconcile

With this, my mere immediate me

The other self I used to be

You with the you that once was you--

Now I have fallen out of love

A year or two.
