<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0"><span class="dropcap">I</span> WILL forget those days of mingled bliss<br/></span>
<span class="i2a">And dear delicious pain,—will cast from me<br/></span>
<span class="i2">All dreams of what I know can never be,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Even the remembrance of that parting kiss.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">I knew that some day it would come to this<br/></span>
<span class="i2">In spite of all our sworn fidelity,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">That I must banish even memory,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And, sorrowing, learn to say, nor say amiss<br/></span>
<span class="i8">I will forget.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">I register this vow, and am content<br/></span>
<span class="i2">That it be so. Ah me!—yet, if the door<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Shut on our heaven might be asunder rent<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Even now, and I could see the way we went,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">I might retract my vow, and say no more<br/></span>
<span class="i8">I will forget.<br/></span></div>
