I scarce esteem Location's Name—
So I may Come—

Not thou,

The dear companion of my heart's

I.
When a lover clasps his fairest,
Then be our dread sport the rarest.
Their caresses were like the chaff
In the tempest, and be our laugh
His despair—her epitaph!

When summoned to depart, halt half-afraid?

Grayness and rosiness, an almost transparent full moon.
I add logs to the fire, I drink and I ponder.

Head in your hands as usual! You will fret
Your life out, sitting moping in the dark.
Come, it is supper-time.
