| DOST thou remember, friend of vanished days, | |
| How, in the golden land of love and song, | |
| We met in April in the crowded ways | |
| Of that fair city where the soul is strong, | |
| Ay! strong as fate, for good or evil praise? | 5 |
| And how the lord whom all the world obeys, | |
| The lord of light to whom the stars belong, | |
| Illumed the track that led thee through the throng? | |
| Dost thou remember, in the wooded dale, | |
| Beyond the town of Dante the Divine, | 10 |
| How all the air was flooded as with wine? | |
| And how the lark, to drown the nightingale, | |
| Pealed out sweet notes? I live to tell the tale. | |
| But thou? Oblivion signs thee with a sign! | |
