Astonished, eager, unaware,
Or elfin's,
wandering
with a grace
Foreign to any fireside race,
And with a gaiety unknown
In the light feet and hair backblown,
And with a sadness yet more strange,
In meagre cheeks which knew to change
Or faint or fired more swift than sight,
And forlorn hands and lips pressed white,
And fragile voice, and head downcast,
Hiding tears, lifted at the last
To speed with one pale smile the wise
Glance of the grey immortal eyes.

Pass by--she heeded not at all: in vain

of virtue discovered in persons where one had not hitherto looked for

that come from his own mind, by the tune they dance to as it were.
