Unforgotten + 

I know a garden where the lilies gleam, + 

And one who lingers in the sunshine there; + 

She is than white-stoled lily far more fair, + 

And oh, her eyes are heaven-lit with dream. + 

I know a garret, cold and dark and drear, + 

And one who toils and toils with tireless pen, + 

Until his brave, sad eyes grow weary⁠—then + 

He seeks the stars, pale, silent as a seer. + 

And ah, it’s strange, for desolate and dim + 

Between these two there rolls an ocean wide; + 

Yet he is in the garden by her side, + 

And she is in the garret there with him. + 
