L4. Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

L5. In me thou sees the twilight of such day

L6. As after sunset fadeth in the west;

L7. Which by and by black night doth take away,

L8. Death's second self that seals up all in rest.

L9. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire

L10. That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

L11. As the deathbed whereon it must expire,

L13. This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,

L14. To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.
