Original text and translations
English text
- In dreams unhappy, I behold you stand
- As heretofore:
- The unremember’d tokens in your hand
- Avail no more.
- No more the morning glow, no more the grace,
- Enshrines, endears.
- Cold beats the light of time upon your face
- And shows your tears.
- He came and went. Perchance you wept awhile
- And then forgot.
- Ah me! But he that left you with a smile
- Forgets you not.
Lyrics: Robert Louis Stevenson - (1850-1894) - from "Songs of Travel".
