Long years ago, one sunny day—
Alas, how dim and far away
That bright day
Compar.lonless und lonely, I,
For pastime, watehtd the clouds go by.
As since have gone the years.
I wandered where the brook leaped down
Its rocky channel by the town
In foamy, ceaseless flow;
wild pigeons rise and fly,
Like arrows, cleaving the bright sky,
Shot from an archer's bow.

As softly, from her burnished throat,

Across the pasture, quavering.
And die among the trees.
