Whose ftful flames bear through the gloom
The burden of his hearts desire.
Sometimes he starts, as If he heard
A woman's footstep on the stair
Twas but creaking board that stirr'd,
Unless a spirit fingered there.
But often, as the smoke wreaths rise,
Sad fancy comes with all her brood.
He sees a face whose dreamy eyes
Rebuke him Cor his solitude
a woman's garment rustles low,
His namc IS murmured by wan l!ns;
Soft fingers touch his wearied brow.
And in his own a small hand slips.
Thus sits he, lost In wistful dreams
OF what the past may never be.
