rose Memory

    As a perfume doth remain
    In the folds where it hath lain,
    So the thought of you, remaining,
    Deeply folded in my brain,
    Will not leave me; all things leave me:
    You remain.

    Other thoughts may come and go,
    Other moments I may know
    That shall waft me, in their going,
    As a breath blown to and fro,
    Fragrant memories; fragrant memories
    Come and go.

    Only thoughts of you remain
    In my heart where they have lain,
    Perfumed thoughts of you, remaining,
    A hid sweetness in my brain
    Others leave me; all things leave me:
    You remain!


    Arthur Symons
