Blithe love, what dubious ponderings bemuse
Thy lover's mind! . . . In me thy memories are
As attar in some alabaster jar . . .
Wholly must I the rose-drawn essence lose
Upon unbalmed oblivion, and diffuse
Its odor on the dust? And shall no star
Of ours illume that ebon calendar
I keep beneath the taproots of the yews?
Or shall, in some ineffable permanence,
The senses merge into one only sense
Holding thine image evermore apart
From suns expired arid cycles yet to come—
Where time shall have none other pendulum
Than the remembered pulsings of thy heart?
