/ It all comes back as the end draws near; / All comes back like a tale of old! / Shall I tell you all? Will you lend an ear? / You, with your face so stern and cold; / You, who have found me dying here.
/ Lady Leona's villa at Verne -- / You have walked its terraces, where the fount / And statue gleam and the fluted urn; / Its world-old elms, that are avenues gaunt / Of shadow and flame when the West is a-burn.
