Thy Name Was Once the Magic Spell 
Thy name was once the magic spell By which my thoughts were bound, And burning dreams of light and love Were wakened by the sound; My heart beat quick when stranger tongues, With idle praise or blame, Awoke its deepest thrill of joy, To tremble at thy name. 
Long years, long years have passed away, And altered is thy brow, And we who met so fondly once Must meet as strangers now; The friends of yore come round me still, But talk no more of thee; 'Twere idle e'en to wish it now, For what art thou to me?
