C.

Yon rising moon that looks for us again-- How oft hereafter will she wax and wane; How oft hereafter rising look for us Through this same Garden--and for _one_ in vain.

This quatrain in its various forms is inspired by O. 5.

Since no one will guarantee thee a to-morrow, Make thou happy now this lovesick heart;[92] Drink wine in the moonlight, O Moon, for the moon[93] Shall seek us long and shall not find us.
