Eyes that last I saw in tears 
	     Through division



Here in death's dream kingdom



The golden vision reappears 
	     I see the eyes but not the tears



This is my affliction



Eyes I shall not see again 
	     Eyes of decision



Eyes I shall not see unless 
	     At the door of death's other kingdom



Where, as in this,
	     The eyes outlast a little while 
	     a little while outlast the tears



And hold us in derision
