Remembrance of my love, come back to me, br Enfold me in your transient embrace, br Patient of disillusion I will be br Again a visionary of her face. br Light me her eyes and fill her shining hair br With sweet pervasion of the scented South; br Recall the momentary glimpses where br Pitiful shadows played about her mouth. br O these beguiling fancies! This desire br That feeds on no fulfilment! Get you hence, br Imperfect amorist, whose kindling fire br Flickers, deludes and fades in impotence! br And this despairing ban shall still remain br Sternly enforced—until you come again.
