Love
To Our Past Loves We Oft Return
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
To our past loves we oft return,
When years that choked our path are past,
And wish again the incense-urn
Its flickering flame once more to cast
On paler brows, until the bourn
Is reacht, where we may rest at last.
