Homeward returning, he at home + 

Is occupied with Olga fair, + 

An album, fly-leaf of the tome, + 

He leisurely adorns for her. + 

Landscapes thereon he would design, + 

A tombstone, Aphrodite’s shrine, + 

Or, with a pen and colours fit, + 

A dove which on a lyre doth sit; + 

The “in memoriam” pages sought, + 

Where many another hand had signed + 

A tender couplet he combined, + 

A register of fleeting thought, + 

A flimsy trace of musings past + 

Which might for many ages last. + 
