So I must believe that I loved you once	A
These letters say so	B
And here is your picture how you have changed	C
It was long ago	B
	-
The gloss is worn from this lock of black hair	D
You can have them all	E
And with these treasures a few idle words	F
That I will not recall	E
	-
What a child I was when you met me first	G
Was I handsome then	H
I think you remember the very night	I
It was half past ten	H
	-
When you came upstairs so tired of the men	H
And tired of the wine	J
You said you loved lilies my dress was white	I
And hated to dine	J
	-
The dowagers nodded behind their fans	K
I played an old song	L
You told an old tale I thought it so new	M
And I thought so long	L
	-
True I had read the Arabian Nights	N
And Amadis de Gaul	E
But I never had found a modern knight	I
In our books at the Hall	E
	-
You tore your hand with the thorns of the rose	O
That looped up my sleeve	P
And a drop of red blood fell on my arm	Q
You asked Do you grieve	P
	-
That drop of your blood made mine flow fast	R
But you sipped your tea	S
With a nonchalant air and balanced the spoon	T
And balanced poor me	S
	-
In the scale with my stocks and farms and mines	U
Did it tremble at all	E
When my cousin the heir turned up one day	V
We both had a fall	E
	-
Well we meet again and I look at you	M
With a quiet surprise	W
I think your ennui possesses me now	X
And am quite as wise	W
	-
To me it was only a dream of love	Y
A defeat to you	M
It was not your first may be not your last	R
Here take them Adieu	M
