oh, life !" she cried, " I will not be Death's bride — I have a lover new Of earth comes me to woo. " Then the flutter of her heart Hurries into beating, With a dull and muffled sound Each stroke a hunted creature's bound ! And her quivering lips apart Into sculptur'd anguish start; In the pale moon's wintry beam You might have seen her bosom striving, Like your own in fearful dream, Or a snow-wreath tossing, driving, And her breath so fleeting Might be heard in choking sob, and cry, " I am too... young to die, So young to die ! " Then the Figure did deride her, And his lasting grin grew wider ; A tremor o'er the bones did pass, Heard like serpents in parch'd grass, Or as shuddering ice-plains creep, When the dim seas break their sleep. As a mighty giant bell Raging in his deafen'd cell Tolling quick with iron knell MISCELLANEOUS POEMS. 105 For a plague-infected city, Smote the voice upon her ear, Hollow, hollow, and so clear, Angels, aid her for sweet pity ! There is no one near. Still more nigh, still more nigh !
