His brightest hour still shone forth from a

And no conjecture on the next could form,
So played the sunbeam on the verge of storm.

Yet still thou 'lt reign within his heart,
To be dethroned never!

To dream of thee at night,

To link thy name with every flower,

Blend with all thoughts of gentleness and love.

An ignorant, noteless, timeless, silly fellow.

A nymph, a naiad, or a grace,

Of finer form, or lovelier face.

things,

And forms impalpable and unperceived

By others' sight, familiar are to his.

Of guilt but what hath he of innocence.

Though turned aside is sunshine still.

pursue.
