<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">I, living love and laughter, have forgot<br/></span>
<span class="i2">The way the heart has uttered melody.<br/></span>
<span class="i2">As sobbing, plaintive cadence of the sea<br/></span>
<span class="i0">A poet’s soul should rest, remembering not<br/></span>
<span class="i0">The inland paths of green, the flowers, the spot<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Where fairies ring. In hermit ecstasy<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Music is born, and gay or wofully<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Lovers of Poesy share her lonely lot.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">For you and me, Beloved, crowned with Spring,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Catching Love’s flowers from off the lap of Time,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">What are the songs my voice has scorned to sing?<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Ghostly they hover round my heart-wise lips;<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Into a kiss I fold my rose of Rhyme,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Laid like a martyr on your finger-tips.<br/></span></div>
