ONLY a moment ago, and the beams
Were dancing along the ivied wall,
And the leaves were aglow to the happy gleams:
But the cloud has darkened it all.
Only a moment ago, and the brook
Shook in a golden smile down the fall
Bright to its heart by the sky's kind look:
But the cloud has darkened it all.
A moment ago - does it need no more,
And the heart is dulled by a thing so small?
Was it I who was glad to the very core?
But the cloud has darkened it all.
