And, through the dales, prolong the matron's cries;

Shakespeare |

Then, had no great aim recompensed my sorrow,
I must have sought dark respite from its stress _830
In dreamless rest, in sleep that sees no morrow--
For to tread life's dismaying wilderness
Without one smile to cheer, one voice to bless,
Amid the snares and scoffs of human kind,
Is hard--but I
betrayed
it not, nor less _835
With love that scorned return sought to unbind
The interwoven clouds which make its wisdom blind.

Gentle thou art, and
therefore
to be won,
Beauteous thou art, therefore to be assail'd;
And when a woman woos, what woman's son
Will sourly leave her till he have prevail'd?

'
She looks into me
The unknowing heart
To see if I love
She has
confidence
she forgets
Under the clouds of her eyelids
Her head falls asleep in my hands
Where are we
Together inseparable
Alive alive
He alive she alive
And my head rolls through her dreams.

The shadows from yon gentle heights that fall,
Where sparkles my sweet fire, where brightly grew
That stately laurel from a sucker small,
Increasing, as I speak, hide from my view
The
beauteous
landscape and the blessed scene,
Where dwells my true heart with its only queen.

In the male cheer by which she was misled,
The damsel held it wise, reproach to shun,
Which might by any carping tongue be said.
