Ernest Christopher Dowson - After Paul Verlaine-IIErnest Christopher Dowson - After Paul Verlaine-II
Work rating: Low


COLLOQUE SENTIMENTAL   Into the lonely park all frozen fast,   Awhile ago there were two forms who passed.   Lo, are their lips fallen and their eyes dead,   Hardly shall a man hear the words they said.   Into the lonely park, all frozen fast,   There came two shadows who recall the past.   "Dost thou remember our old ecstasy?"--   "Wherefore should I possess that memory?"--   "Doth thine heart beat at my sole name alway?   Still dost thou see my soul in visions?" "Nay!"--   "They were fair days of joy unspeakable,   Whereon our lips were joined?"--"I cannot tell."--   "Were not the heavens blue, was not hope high?"--   "Hope has fled vanquished down the darkling sky."--   So through the barren oats they wandered,   And the night only heard the words they said.
