A
-
In Ebon Box when years have flownB
To reverently peerC
Wiping away the velvet dustD
Summers have sprinkled thereE
-
To hold a letter to the lightF
Grown Tawny now with timeG
To con the faded syllablesH
That quickened us like WineI
-
Perhaps a Flower's shrivelled checkJ
Among its stores to findK
Plucked far away some morningL
By gallant mouldering handM
-
A curl perhaps from foreheadsN
Our Constancy forgotO
Perhaps an Antique trinketP
In vanished fashions setQ
-
And then to lay them quiet backR
And go about its careE
As if the little Ebon BoxS
Were none of our affairE
