One gloomy garden locked and walled
He paused in fear each step he took,
And waited till the moon was gone;
Then stole in by the little brook
That still laughed down the terraced lawn.
And up the well known path he crept,
And through the tangled briars tore;
And ne. while they who sought him slept,
saw his ancestral home once more.
There song and lights were still astir,
And by her he could see one stand,
