Charles Hamilton Aïdé (1830–1906)

    I sit beside my lonely fire
  And pray for wisdom yet:
For calmness to remember
  Or courage to forget.

Remember or Forget.

    Do you recall that night in June
  Upon the Danube River;
We listened to the ländler-tune,
  We watched the moonbeams quiver.

The Danube River.
