  Merry and sad to tell,
  And the crier rung his bell,
  What would you buy?

• How many times do I love, again?
  Tell me how many beads there are
  In a silver chain
  Of evening rain
  Unravelled from the trembling main
  And threading the eye of a yellow star:-
  So many times do I love again.
