POE ee Bey: 
For surely, then I should have sight 
Of him I wait for day and night, 
With love and longings infinite, 
My apprehensions comen crowds ; 
I dread the rustling of the grass ; 
The very shadows of the clouds 
Have power to shake me as they pass : 
I question things, and do not find 
One that will answer to my mind ; 
And all the world appears uukind. 
Beyond participation lie 
My troubles, and. beyond relief : 
If any chance to heave a sigh | 
They pity me, and not my grief. 
Then come to me, my Son, or send 
Some tiding that my woes may end ; 
Ihave no other earthly friend.

No bonnet screen’d her from the heat ; eve 
A long drab-colour’d cloak she wore, 
A mantle reaching to her feet : 
What other dress she had I could not know ; 
Only she wore a cap that was as white as snow. 
In all my walks, through field or town, 
Such figure had I never seen : 
Her face was of Egyptian brown : 
Fit person was she for a queen, 
To head those ancient Amazonian files : 
Or ruling Bandit’s wife, among the Grecian Isles. 
Before me begging did she stand, 
Pouring out sorrows like a sea ; 
Grief after grief :—on English land 
Such woes I knew could never be; 
And yeta boon f gave her ; forthe creature 
Was beautiful to see ; ‘aweed of glorious feature ! 
I left her and pursued my way ; 
And soon before me did espy 
A pair of little boys, at play, 
Chasing a crimson butterfly ;
