The Inn of Dreams

And bring thee in return dull cares and tears,
And difficult days and sickness and despair . .
O, not for thee the griefs and sordid fears
That, like a burden, trembling age must bear;
Slain in thy youth, by the sweet hands of Love,
Thou shalt remain for ever young and fair . . .
