cxxxix. 9 ; Ps. xcv. 5. EKOCH ARDEN. 15 But Annie from her baby's forehead dipt A tiny curl, and gave it : this he kept 245 Thro' all his future; but now hastily caught His bundle, waved his hand, and went his way. She when the day, that Enoch mention'd, came, Borrow'd a glass, but all in vain: perhaps 250 She could not fix the glass to suit her eye; Perhaps her eye was dim, hand tremulous; She saw him not; and while he stood on deck Waving, the moment and the vessel past. Ev'n to the last dip ...of the vanishing sail 255 She watch'd it, and departed weeping for hira ; Then, tho' she mourn'd his absence as his grave, She set her sad will no less to chime with his, But throve not in her trade, not being bred 260 To barter, nor compensating the want By shrewdness, neither capable of lies Nor asking overmuch and taking less, And still foreboding " What would Enoch say?" For more than once, in days of difficulty 265 And pressure, had she sold her wares for less Than what she gave in buying what she sold : She f ail'd and sadden'd knowing it ; and thus Expectant of that news which never came, Gain'd for her own a scanty sustenance, 270 And lived a life of silent melancholy.
