And hopes of youth in age are not the same.
/ would not have you suffer vain regret;
Perhaps it's better that you should forget
Remembering but the golden episode
For both upon life's uneventful road
But though our hands must tear themselves
I still shall keep this blossom of the heart.

To fullest bloom it may for us ne'er grow.
Passion but robs the casket of its gem:
My thoughts but kneel TO KISS your gar
ment's hem.
So high 1 hold you in my hearts esteem,
No jangling chords shall ever mar the
dream.
To friendship all my votive flowers belong,
And tears shall never interrupt our song
Its charm and loneliness my Iife's perfume.
