DEAR HEART, WHERE HAST
THOU WANDERED"

Dear heart, where hast thou wandered?
What happier regions stay
Thy lingering feet, whose coming
changed
My winter into May?
Now all our slopes are burgeoned
In summers lavish mood.
And deep within the grove the thrush,
Has belled the solitude.
The laurels set the hillside
With many spectral light;
Seen through the dusk, they stand like
nymphs,
Expectancy in fight.
But somewhere thou dost linger,
lmplacable, afar,
Though high within the twilight sky
Cleans cold our trysting-star.
Still, each leaf whispers of thee:
In every path once trod
By thy dear feet, thy spirit yet
Speaks from remembering sod.
