(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

I learnt to write to you in happier days,
And every letter was a piece I chipped
From off my heart, a fragment newly clipped
From the mosaic¹ of life; its blues² and grays,
Its throbbing³ reds, I gave to earn your praise.
To make a pavement for your feet I stripped
My soul for you to walk upon, and slipped
Beneath your steps to soften⁴ all your ways.
But now my letters are like blossoms pale
We strew⁵ upon a grave with hopeless tears.
I ask no recompense, I shall not fail
Although you do not heed⁶; the long, sad years
Still pass, and still I scatter⁷ flowers frail,
And whisper words of love which no one hears.
