Rnt there clne shadow o! doubt and wrong,
Your harsh words knGlsd my woman's pride,
And Love was timid and Ptdo YVES strong.
You su.4t out from ps into the world;
Wealth, honor and power, you strove Tor I'll,
Ii ever the dead past cried to your heart,
The din Of the city drowned its call.
At length you welded lady fair,
She brought you beauty and gold sud youth !;
Ba, when YOU stood ny her side, Charlie Day.
Did your heart plight her stainless truth 2
think memory cano to you then,
Ofcountry meadows and elm tree boughs;
And haunting echo stirred the AIR,
With the lingering tones OF your earlier VOWS
But tue Lady Bauche heard mover word
Here ewes were brig: and her cheeks were

And imdiy 'aoath hes silken vest,
Her Young hear, boat at the words you ssld
heard Of your wedding at Easter-tide,
But the Lent X. ut that year was long.

Since thea have walked through lie alone,
