And lost it
To have held the bird,
For a moment nigh,
And I made reply:
To have one only hope—
And cast it by;
And let it fly;
To have plucked the flower
To have seen the star
To die.
Through a slothful eye;
One asked of regret,
One asked of regret, And I made reply: To have held the bird, And let it fly; To have seen the star For a moment nigh, And lost it Through a slothful eye; To have plucked the flower And cast it by; To have one only hope— To die.
