But yesterday! .
O blooms of May, / And summer roses -- Where-away?
O stars above, / And lips of love / And all the honeyed sweets thereof!
O lad and lass / And orchard-pass / And briered lane, and daisied grass!
O gleam and gloom, / And woodland bloom, / And breezy breaths of all perfume! --
No more for me / Or mine shall be / Thy raptures -- save in memory, -- / No more -- no more -- / Till through the Door / Of Glory gleam the days of yore.
