| | From Shadow Songs HOW bitter must the smile | |
| Of the wise Future be | |
| Behind her veil! | |
| O letter of last year, | |
| Can my hopes and aims, | 5 |
| Like moons, | |
| Have changed so? | |
| Those dead desires, | |
| Like shriveled fruits, | |
| Hang, shamed, | 10 |
| On the bough of time. | | | | |
