<h3><i>With Music</i></h3>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Dear, did we meet in some dim yesterday?<br/></span>
<span class="i2">I half remember how the birds were mute<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Among green leaves and tulip-tinted fruit,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And on the grass, beside a stream, we lay<br/></span>
<span class="i0">In early twilight; faintly, far away,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Came lovely sounds adrift from silver lute,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">With answered echoes of an airy flute,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">While Twilight waited tiptoe, fain to stay.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Her violet eyes were sweet with mystery.<br/></span>
<span class="i2">You looked in mine, the music rose and fell<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Like little, lisping laughter of the sea;<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Our souls were barks, wind-wafted from the shore—<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Gold cup, a rose, a ruby, who can tell?<br/></span>
<span class="i4">Soft—music ceases—I recall no more.<br/></span></div>
