A year! How slight a space / When winged with ecstasy! / (An eon dark to me.) / He has brought her home--God lend me grace! / To-night in the throng I shall see his face-- / He has long forgotten me. / A year! I have learned to smile, / I have taught my eyes to lie, / I have lived and laughed and sung--the while / I have only longed to die.
