235 As I read that blotted letter, with its love so fond and true, Again in the dim morning, I was stung with new regret; Why had I mooned away the night, when there was that to do Which still might heal our sorrow, and restore my darling yet?
O misery ! O misery ! to have been rich indeed, And to have wasted all that wealth of love by cold distrust ! And what were I without her, but a shivering, withered reed With the glad water at its roots all gone to summer dust?
I did not wish a wiser wife... I only wanted her. How could she think I cared for bookish women or their praise ?
If she only saw my heart now, if she only felt the stir Of pain and shame and self-contempt I had for all my ways !
236 REV. ELPHINSTONE BELL, I hurried to our priestling; I was sure he had to do With this fresh sorrow of my life ; and I mis- judged him not; He was fain to make atonement where atonement was not due, And manufactured crosses when Providence for- got.
I found him high and haughty in a saintly kind of way, But he allowed that she had joined a pious sisterhood Who from a distant harbour would be sailing on that day, To nurse the wounded in the war, and do the dying good.
