A Life Misspent - Elysian Fields

Well matched all say the gold and the jade

I alone recall the pledge between plant and stone

Vainly facing the hermit in snow-clad hills

I forget not the fairy in long woods beyond the world

I sigh learning that no man’s happiness is complete

I sigh

I sigh learning that no man’s happiness is complete

I sigh

Even a pair thought well-matched may find disappointment

Well matched all say the gold and the jade

I alone recall the pledge between plant and stone

Vainly facing the hermit in sparkling hills

I forget not the fairy in Long Woods beyond the world

I sigh learning that no man’s happiness is complete

I sigh

I sigh learning that no man’s happiness is complete

I sigh
