And still we talked of this and that, Scarce knowing what we said; But through our disconnected chat There ran a subtle thread—
A subtle underlying thread Of pleasure mixed with pain, A mingled ecstasy and dread That thrilled through heart and brain.
And left us with a yearning sense Of sorrow and regret, And of a mighty difference Since we that night had met.
1899
