WHEN our glowing dreams were dead,
Ruined our heroic piles,
Something in your dark eyes said:
Think no more of love or smiles.
Something in me still would say,
Though our dreamland palace goes,
I have seen how in decay
Still the wild rose clings and blows.
But your dark eyes willed it thus:
Build our lofty dream again:
Let our palace rise oer us:
Love can never be till then.
