J-AITH cannot fold the thought nor eye receive This smiling pledge, this flourish of the past: Surely some wealthy dream upon me cast Has met the fatal morning beam to leave Naked my life, ruin beyond reprieve. Where tears have taught that only loss can last, The living face in darkness held so fast, And the daunted mind knowing but to grieve. H ERE yesterday is proud, and love is seen As final, fixed as in rejoicing stone: For time’s swift plunder ahd for sorrows lean These features shall compel and must atone: For though a furtive death has flung a breach Yet this shall be her distant love and speech.
