Their sadness held no woe, .' : Seeming but heritage From eyes of long,ago, Just as that face from out Those faces of tho throng ' / '.Caught at my heartstrings swift With unknown spell and strong, t '■" Unmodern, efrange, unvext, In passionless, still, graceIt haunts my vision now. . That nameless, passing' face!
