　　I ask but one thing of you, only one,
　　That always you will be my dream of you;
　　That never shall I wake to find untrue

　　Forever vanished, like a vision gone
　　Out into the night. Alas, how few
　　There are who strike in us a chord we knew
  t& ~, W* f; x( o+ ]! v0 _　　Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
　　We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.

　　And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
　　Yet still our human longing vainly clings
& k+ a: b( A" N3 [  m+ u　　To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
　　O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
