First Line: Here, lilacs wilt beneath the blast
Last Line: For aye.
Alternate Author Name(s): Sully-prudhomme

Here, lilacs wilt beneath the blast
And short-lived song-birds cease their lay;
I dream of summers that will last
For aye.

Here, lips to velvet lips cling fast,
But the shared rapture dies away;
I dream of kisses that will last
For aye.

Here mortals weep o'er friendships past,
And fitful loves that had their day;
I dream of unions that will last
For aye.
