And take me by the hand	G
And lead me through their rooms	H
In the To be where Dooms	H
Half wove and shapeless stand	G
nbsp nbsp nbsp And show from there	I
nbsp nbsp nbsp The dwindled dust	J
nbsp nbsp nbsp And rot and rust	J
nbsp nbsp nbsp Of things that were	K

quot Yet quot said they quot his frail speech	S
Hath accents pitched like thine	T
Thy mould and his define	T
A likeness each to each	S
nbsp nbsp nbsp But go Deep pain	U
nbsp nbsp nbsp Alas would be	-
nbsp nbsp nbsp His name to thee	-
nbsp nbsp nbsp And told in vain quot	J

quot O memory where is now my youth	V
Who used to say that life was truth quot	J

quot I saw him in a crumbled cot	J
nbsp nbsp nbsp Beneath a tottering tree	-
That he as phantom lingers there	I
nbsp nbsp nbsp Is only known to me quot	J

quot O Memory where is now my joy	W
Who lived with me in sweet employ quot	J

Who charged with deeds my skill and scope quot	J

quot O Memory where is now my faith	A2
One time a champion now a wraith quot	J

That her poor ghost outflickers there	I
nbsp nbsp nbsp Is known to none but me quot	J

quot O Memory where is now my love	-
That rayed me as a god above quot	J
	-
quot I saw him by an ageing shape	B2
nbsp nbsp nbsp Where beauty used to be	-
That his fond phantom lingers there	I
