First Line: Ever before my face there went
Last Line: Grey, and dear heart, how grey!
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Ever before my face there went
Betwixt earth's buds and me
A beauty beyond earth's content,
A hope -- half memory:
Till in the woods one evening --
Ah! eyes as dark as they,
Fastened on mine unwontedly,
Grey, and dear heart, how grey!
