To her sweet but burdened soul
All that here she may control--
What of bitter memories,
What of coming fate's surmise,
Paris' passion, distant din
Of the war now
drifting

To her quiet--idle seems;
Idle as the lazy gleams
Of some stilly water's reach,
Seen from where broad vine-leaves pleach
A heavy arch; and, looking through,
Far away the doubtful blue
Glimmers, on a drowsy day,
Crowded with the sun's rich gray;--
As she stands within her room,
Weaving, weaving at the loom.

A little feather of snow-white smoke,
And we knew that the iron ship of our foes
Was steadily

its course
To try the force
Of our ribs of oak.

And Lord, oh, look not on his error,
But how he served you, oh, now

Than without candle may go dark to bed-
Must you be therefore proud and

The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine.
