Her soul-smile was not there.

That what we call pleasure may be a vain show;
While joys seem the sweetest they only are blasting,
And happiness frequently ends in great woe.

And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait
at the end to arrest it,
And ceased the moment life appeared.

I did not show in speech or song,
How at the end I longed to fold you
Close in my arms; so fierce and strong
The longing grew to have and hold you,
You, and you only, all life long.
