（单词翻译:单击）

Delayed till she had ceased to know --
Delayed till in its vest of snow
Her loving bosom1 lay --
An hour behind the fleeting2 breath --
Later by just an hour than Death --
Oh lagging Yesterday!

Could she have guessed that it would be --
Could but a crier of the joy
Have climbed the distant hill --
Had not the bliss3 so slow a pace
Who knows but this surrendered face
Were undefeated still?

Oh if there may departing be
Any forgot by Victory
In her imperial round --
Show them this meek4 appareled thing
That could not stop to be a king --
Doubtful if it be crowned!
