SENTIMENT. 



Thine is a face to look upon and pray 

 That a pure spirit keep thee I would meet 

 With one so gentle by the streams away, 

 Living with nature; keeping thy pure feet 

 For the unfingered moss, and for the grass 

 Which leaneth where the gentle waters pass. 

 The autumn leaves should sigh thee to thy sleep ; 

 And the capricious April, coming on, 

 Awake thee like a flower; and stars should keep 

 A vigil o'er thee like Endymion; 

 And thou for very gentleness shouldst weep 

 As dews of the night's quietness come down. 



Willi*.
