绝对空虚

“late of a winter night--And I unremark'd seated in a corner;”

 Glimpse

A GLIMPSE, through an interstice caught,

Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room, around the stove,

late of a winter night--And I unremark'd seated in a corner;
Of a youth who loves me, and whom I love, silently approaching, and
seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand;
A long while, amid the noises of coming and going--of drinking and
oath and smutty jest,

There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,
perhaps not a word.

诗中的情侣旁若无人地“秀”恩爱，享受爱情的甜蜜，歌曲的主角独个儿在品尝失恋带来的痛苦。
