And by degrees upon him grew + 

A lethargy of sense, a trance, + 

And soon imagination threw + 

Before him her wild game of chance. + 

And now upon the snow in thaw + 

A young man motionless he saw, + 

As one who bivouacs afield, + 

And heard a voice cry⁠—Why! He’s killed!⁠— + 

And now he views forgotten foes, + 

Poltroons and men of slanderous tongue, + 

Bevies of treacherous maidens young; + 

Of thankless friends the circle rose, + 

A mansion⁠—by the window, see! + 

She sits alone⁠—’tis ever she! + 
