See Fires Ablaze + 

See fires ablaze, hear music sound⁠— + 

The music weeps and nestles round. + 

E’en as a diamond, precious, fair, + 

The eyes of youth are bright, how bright! + 

Gladness and hope have set their light + 

In joyous eyes. They know not care, + 

Those youthful eyes⁠—no sin is there. + 

And all are filled with mirth and glee, + 

And all are dancing. I alone + 

Gaze, as there were a curse on me. + 

I weep, I weep to all unknown. + 

Why do I weep? Perchance to mourn, + 

How without hap, as tempest-borne, + 

The days of all my youth have flown. + 
