Missed.
A sedencb like the hush of fear Fills all the house this snmmor day ; Familiar accents startle near. Or fade in murmurs far away. And breaking as from distant gloom, A face comes painted on the air ; A presence walks the haunted room, Or sits within the vacant chair. The lightest wind that shakos the glass, The sound that stirs awhile the street, Seems to the listening heart, alas 1 Like footfall of beloved feet. And every object that I feel Seemi charged by some enchanter's wand, And keen the diztsy senses thrill, As with the touch of spirit hand. At morning in the rosy flush, At noontide in the fiery glow, At evening in the golden hush, At night as pass the minutes slow. A form beloved comes again, A voico beaide me seems to start. While eager fancies fill the brain, And eager passions hold the heart.
S. Odabke.
