Recessional + 

Consider me a memory⁠—a dream + 

That passed away, + 

Or yet, a flower that has blown and shattered⁠— + 

In a day; + 

For passion sleeps, alas, and keeps no vigil + 

With the years, + 

And wakens to no conjuring + 

Of orison or tears. + 

Consider me a melody + 

That served its simple turn, + 

Or but the residue of fire + 

That settles in the urn, + 

For love defies pure reasoning + 

And undeterred flows + 

Within⁠—without + 

The vassal heart! + 

Its reasoning⁠— + 

Who knows? + 
