append few verses of the poem, recalled by
this sad parting in death
Farewell for here the ways at last
Divide-diverge, like delug'd Nile
which after desert dangers passd

As constant IA a column stone
Seeks out the sea, divorced-alone.

And red seal on the collins lid;
The clerk below, the court above,
Pronounced It dead the corpse Is hid,
And who never crossed your will
Consent that you may have 1t still
And you will come some summer eve,
When wheels the white moon on her track
And hear the plaintiye night-bird grieve,
And heed the crickets clad in black;
Alone-not far-a little spell,
And say, "Wel, yes, he loved me WE'LL
make no murmur; steady, calm;
Sphinx-like gazed on days ahead.
No wooing word, no pressing palm,
No sealing love with lips seal red,
No waiting for some dusk or dawn,
Or sacred hour, all are gone.

To lead me from forbidden ways
No little voice in other lands
Shall cheer through all the weary days
Yet these are yours and that to me
Is much indeed. So let it be.

scratches.
