The light in the dust lies dead;
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow’s glory is shed;
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.”

“Let others sing of knights and paladins
In aged accents and untimely words,
Paint shadows, in imaginary lines,”
