MOST quietly at times and like a dream
In thee re-echoes a far distant song ...
Thou knowest not whence suddenly it came,
Thou knowest not what it would have of thee ...
And like a dream most peacefully and still
It dies in distant music, even as it came ...
As suddenly as in the crowded street,
And in the very winter's frozen heart,
An odor of roses will around thee breathe,
Or as a picture unawares will rise
From far-forgotten happy childhood's days,
And gaze at thee with eyes inquisitive ...
Most quietly, and lightly as a dream ...
Thou knowest not whence suddenly it came,
Thou knowest not what it would have of thee,
And like a dream most peacefully and still
It pales and passes, fading when it came.
