One by one, like leaves from a tree, / All my faiths have forsaken me.

Years go, dreams go, and youth goes too, The world's heart breaks beneath its wars,All things are changed, save in the east,The faithful beauty of the stars.

There's nothing half so real in life as the things you've done... inexorably, unalterably done.

Can I ever know you / Or you know me?

Stephen kissed me in the spring, Robin in the fall, But Colin only looked at me And never kissed at all. Stephen’s kiss was lost in jest, Robin’s lost in play, But the kiss in Colin’s eyes Haunts me night and day.

Places I love come back to me like music, / Hush me and heal me when I am very tired.

look for a lovely thing and you will find it, it is not far, it never will be far
