    One fire burns out another's burning,
    One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish;
    Turn giddy and be holp by backward turning;
    One desperate grief cures with another's languish.

And round her waist she felt it fold,
And far read more

And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it fold,
And far across the hills they went,
In that new world that is the old.
