Your memory unperplexed.

[Pg 34]

THE SHADE

Darker than night; and oh, much darker, she,

Whose eyes in deep night darkness gaze on me.

No stars surround her; yet the moon seems hid

Afar somewhere, beneath that narrow lid.

She darkens against the darkness; and her face

Only by adding thought to thought I trace,

Limned shadowily: O dream, return once more

To gloomy Hades and the whispering shore!

[Pg 35]

[Pg 35]

BE ANGRY NOW NO MORE

Be angry now no more!

If I have grieved theeā€”if

Thy kindness, mine before,

No hope may now restore:

Only forgive, forgive!
