（单词翻译:单击）

Speech after long silence； it is right，

　　All other lovers being estranged1 or dead，

　　Unfriendly lamplight hid under its shade，

　　The curtains drawn2 upon unfriendly night，

　　That we descant3 and yet again descant

　　Upon the supreme4 theme of Art and Song：

　　Bodily decrepitude5 is wisdom； young

　　We loved each other and were ignorant.
