(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

In Ebon Box, when years have flown
To reverently¹ peer,
Wiping away the velvet² dust
Summers have sprinkled there!

To hold a letter to the light --
Grown Tawny³ now, with time --
To con⁴ the faded syllables
That quickened us like Wine!

Perhaps a Flower's shrivelled check
Among its stores to find --
Plucked far away, some morning --
By gallant⁵ -- mouldering⁶ hand!

A curl, perhaps, from foreheads
Our Constancy forgot --
Perhaps, an Antique trinket --
In vanished fashions set!

And then to lay them quiet back --
And go about its care --
As if the little Ebon Box
Were none of our affair!
