Unlike are we, unlike, O princely Heart! + 

Unlike our uses and our destinies. + 

Our ministering two angels look surprise + 

On one another, as they strike athwart + 

Their wings in passing. Thou, bethink thee, art + 

A guest for queens to social pageantries, + 

With gazes from a hundred brighter eyes + 

Than tears even can make mine, to play thy part + 

Of chief musician. What hast thou to do + 

With looking from the lattice-lights at me, + 

A poor, tired, wandering singer, singing through + 

The dark, and leaning up a cypress tree? + 

The chrism is on thine head⁠—on mine, the dew⁠— + 

And Death must dig the level where these agree. + 
