Beyondthe last hill stands a rowOf poplars sighing,Amid the dwellings where dreams go.When they are dying.One side the stream, a pleasure groundWhere they carouse;On the far side, with yew-trees bound,The lazar-house.And when the night has riven with starsThe veil of day,I see their drunken half-shapes passBy the stream way."O dreams, O guests, who poisoned nightWith leprosy;Amid the stream and the moonlightOh, think on me!"

With leprosy;
Amid the stream and the moonlight
Oh, think on me!"
