A
laughing
face; and laughing hair,--
So ruddy was its rise
From off that forehead fair;
Frank fervor in whate'er she said,
And a shy grace when she was still;
A bright, elastic tread;
Enthusiastic will;
These wrought the magic of a maid
As sweet and sad as the sun in spring;--
Joyous, yet half-afraid
Her joyousness to sing.

While getting whip-sticks from the dangling boughs
Of osiers drooping by the water-side,
Her bonnet

on the top espied;
He knew it well, and hastened fearful down
To take the terror of his fears to town,--
A melancholy story, far too true;
And soon the village to the pasture flew,
Where, from the deepest hole the pond about,
They dragged poor Jenny's lifeless body out,
And took her home, where scarce an hour gone by
She had been living like to you and I.

whereof, to those who know me not, a truer information may be requisite.

And I
wondered
as you clasped
your shoulder-strap
at the strength of your wrist
and the turn of your young fingers,
and the lift of your shorn locks,
and the bronze
of your sun-burnt neck.

My
prospect
in the Excise is something; at least it is, encumbered as
I am with the welfare, the very existence, of near half-a-score of

Twelve

His sides until, compared to him,
The naked, burning sun seems dim.

I need thee not; mad dreams are mine to bind
The world to my desire, and hold the wind

Was it long brooding on their own surmise,
Which, of the eyes engendered, fools the eyes,
Or have I seen through that

A Presence shaped in its seclusions bare,
My Goddess looking on me from above
As look our russet maidens when they love,
But high-uplifted, o'er our human heat
And passion-paths too rough for her pearl feet?
