1.
<br>
Far, far away, O ye
<br>
Halcyons of Memory,
<br>
Seek some far calmer nest
<br>
Than this abandoned breast!
<br>
No news of your false spring
<br>
To my heart's winter bring,
<br>
Once having gone, in vain
<br>
Ye come again.
<br>

<br>
2.
<br>
Vultures, who build your bowers
<br>
High in the Future's towers,
<br>
Withered hopes on hopes are spread!
<br>
Dying joys, choked by the dead,
<br>
Will serve your beaks for prey
<br>
Many a day.
