The continual changes of the flex of the mouth, and around the eyes,
The skin, the sun-burnt shade, freckles, hair,

From the memories of the bird that chanted to me,
From your memories, sad brother—from the fitful risings and fallings I heard,

From those beginning notes of sickness and love, there in the transparent mist,
From the thousand responses of my heart, never to cease,
From the myriad thence-arous’d words,
From the word stronger and more delicious than any,

The thoughts that would full fain the past recall,
