STITUtHTV
But she, who knows the least of Loves alarms
Ibid one soft hand upon my throbbing wrist,
And In her eyes read the choice she made,
And anger slumbered like tired child kissed.
"Epithalamium" is good also:
High in the organ-loft with lilied hair,
Love piled the pedals with his snowy foot,
Pouring forth music like the scent of fruit,
And stirring all the incense-laden air;
we Bnelt before the affairs gold rail, where
The priest stood ROBBED, with chalice and palm
shoot,
With music-men, who bore citole and lutte,
Behind us, and the attendant virgins fair
And so our red Aurora flashed to gold,
Our dawn to sudden sun, and all the while
The hlgh-vOiced children Urebled clear and cold
The eenser-boys went swim gng down the aisle,
And far above, with fingers strong and sure,
Love closed our lives triumphant overture.
The longer poems are fine, and the book,
a handsome volume, will find ready sale.
