Child study steal glances, meekly,

Fever grips for hours heartbeats,

Infected, addicted by fever, I allow,

Allow my heart nostalgia get alive,

Alive again throbs warmth thrive, (13)

Forgets age, twilight years unkind,

Jump, jump, feel, wait impatient,

Minutes seem hours, air indecent, (14)

Evening today reminiscence, reveal. (15)
