CONSTANCY. 
They bid me forget him ! as if I could tear 
From my heart the dear image so long cherished there; 
Like a rose in the wilderness, blooming and free, 
Like a rose in the desert that love is to me.

I cannot forget him— would not, if I might! 
’Tis the star that illumines my desolate way, 
And gives it the glory and brightness of day.
