A feeling to-night comes o'er me
That once in this hearth's dim gleam
I was happy beyond all dreaming,
But it may have been only a dream.

A dream or a memory is it,
That here in the same soft glow
Two entranced ones nestled together,
And that I was one of the two?

I seem to remember a gladness
That haunted of old this spot.
But was it mine or another's?
Ah, that I remember not!
