My darling has learned the secret
That the gypsies, long ago.

From credulous hands Of snow;
And now, in a charmed silence
No voice from the world must break,
She deals and ponders the fateful cards
For dear Dame Fortunes sake.
Anon, she starts, exultinc:

The smile of the sun, the laugh of the lutte,
And a lover of high degree!
But alas for my wishl 1t comes not"
The broad brows knit as in pain.
Thepoor little prophets are straight Ipswe7s
And the tale begins again.
. gray eyes, masterful, steady,
On the whimsical game intent,
Little ye reck of the shining forms
That over your folly are bent;
Little ye reck of the promise
That throbs in the living air,
Or the gracious hands outstretched in vain
With gifts that mock compared
Great Mother Nature fingers
81 have almost lost my child"
And stately Learning echoes her
In accents deep and mild.
That was Loves plumy pinion
That brushed against your face.
That strain of music is calling you
AS it scars to the heavenly place
But hist! what hurrying footsteps
Nearer and nearer sound?
What shape more fair than all beside
Transfgures the scene around?
Quick, maiden, break from your glamour
Down, the false propaets! 'Tis she!
o quick, or eternity hides her, sweetl
'Tis Opportunity!
