You are always new. The last of your kisses was ever the sweetest;…

In drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy tree, Thy branches ne'er remember Their green felicity.

It keeps eternal whisperings around Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell Gluts twice ten thousand Caverns, till the spell Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound.

then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
