“A sweetheart from another life floats there
As though she had been forced to linger
From vague distress
Or arrogant loveliness,
Merely to loosen out a tress
Among the starry eddies of her hair....”

To sing a song or two,
My fancy on a man,
And you know who.”

And many a sweet thing said,
And a young man brought him red wine
And a young girl white bread.”
