Did you never know, long ago, how much you loved me—
  That your love would never lessen and never go?
You were young then, proud and fresh-hearted,
  You were too young to know.
Fate is a wind, and red leaves fly before it
  Far apart, far away in the gusty time of year—
Seldom we meet now, but when I hear you speaking,
  I know your secret, my dear, my dear.
