To have her and hold her for veal or for woe
She spoke the responses in accents most ten

Tonight, in the gloom, they are sitting apart;
Oh has all her wifely devotion been wasted ?
She mopes there In silence, pain at her heart

The serpent has entered their Eden at last,
And left its dark trail Cd the flowers Of afTec-

A grief that she's vainly endeavoring to
