0 q4 {; n9 K. O7 W- G  W" I       To a Friend
　　I ask but one thing of you, only one,
　　That always you will be my dream of you;
　　That never shall I wake to find untrue
* S, @' ^" |+ o　　All this I have believed and rested on,
" }  c' ?7 B& n. W- C　　Forever vanished, like a vision gone
　　Out into the night. Alas, how few
　　There are who strike in us a chord we knew
　　Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
　　We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.
　　The world is full of rude awakenings
% L, A- F& J9 t" t( e0 ]　　And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
  o1 o5 e2 c% x) X9 |0 q　　Yet still our human longing vainly clings
0 m- c( P# g5 U+ T　　To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
　　O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
