Jiménez, "Nostalgia"

A work by this Spanish poet. You can read the original here.
And so shall we approach the end,
And softly clasp the joy achieved;
Far from vain cares, on lonely bend,
Thoughts troubling faith and life's release.
Wet, yellow branches of willows torn
Will graze our brows; while sandy pearls
And vervain's brimming cups adorn
Our peaceful, lazy footprints' swirls.
Your tender waist my arm shall round,
Your head my shoulder shall embrace;
Your beauty, e'er by time unbound,
An ideal evening's love shall grace.
