I remember we used to meet
And you warbled each pretty word
And your voice had a quaver in it
And shook with the last full note
And your eyes, they were green and grey,
When I stooped and kissed.
And your hair—well, I never could tie it,
Like a tangled sunbeam of gold,
You were always afraid of a shower,
I remember you started and ran
I remember I never could catch you,
For no one could match you;
You had wonderful luminous fleet
Little wings to your feet.
Yet you somehow would give me the prize,
With a laugh in your eyes,
The rose from your breast, or the bliss
On your neck with its marble hue,
How these passionate memories bite
I remember so well the room,
That beat at the dripping pane
And the colour of your gown,
And two yellow satin bows
And the handkerchief of French lace
Which you held to your face—
Had a tear-drop left a stain?
'You have only wasted your life.'—
(Ah! there was the knife! )
Those were the words you said,
I had wasted my boyhood, true,
You had poets enough on the shelf,
Well, if my heart must break,
Dear Love, for your sake,
It will break in music, I know;
But strange that I was not told
