Somewhere where I shall never live

     A palace garden showers[1]…

Its presence on the thoughts I grieve[2]… 

There along[3] walks immemorial,

     Great antenatal flowers

My lost life, before God, recall…

There I was happy and the child

     That had cool shadows

Wherein to feel sweet, exiled…

They took all these true things away…

     Time’s now meadows…

|Now it is always to-day|[4]
