Do you remember how that night drew on? / That night of sorrow, when the stars looked wan / As eyes that gaze reproachful in a dream, / Loved eyes, long lost, and sadder than the grave? / How through the heaven stole the moon's gray gleam, / Like a nun's ghost down a cathedral nave? -- / Do you remember how that night drew on?
Do you remember the hard words then said? / Said to the living, -- now denied the dead, -- / That left me dead, -- long, long before I died, -- / In heart and spirit? -- me, your words had slain, / Telling how love to my poor life had lied, / Armed with the dagger of a pale disdain. -- / Do you remember the hard words then said?
