Sometimes I think the happiest of love's moments
Is the blest moment of release from loving.
The world once more is all one's own to model
...
Sometimes I am too tired
To think of you.
Today was such a day,
...
Sometimes I wish that I were Helen-fair
And wise as Pallas,
That I might have most royal gifts to pour
In love's sweet chalice.
...
Sometimes I watch you, mark your brooding eyes,
Your grave brow over-weighted with deep thought,
...
