And youth beguiled the chase,—
I follow, follow still: But I
Shall never see her face.”

“I knew the Spring was come. I knew it even
Better than all by this, that through my chase
In bush and stone and hill and sea and heaven
I seem'd to see and follow still your face.
Your face my quarry was. For it I rode,
My horse a thing of wings, myself a god.”

I follow, follow lightly,
and there are no footprints
in the dust behind us.”
