v. Twelve months have passed, And now the little cottage stands with door Ajar, and aspect wild and bare. Nor man Nor child the silence of its threshold breaks. By day the haunt of birds whose fluttering wings Are ever heard amongst the straggling leaves That now with mournful mien hang from its walls. Yea, do the tiny leaves and swaying boughs Of ev'ry tree around bend low their heads, And long in vain for rest denied them by The sleepless wind that ever seems to sing A sad and endless requiem.... And night's dark shroud doth only lend the scene A deeper beauty and the starlit sky A diamond crown. But greater than the charm Of all its beauty, is the wonder of 22 the astrologer's daughter. Its solitude. More mystic seems the spot By night than are the wildest ocean waves ; More lonely in the dusk of eve than darkest Cave or desert wide and drear. And on the midnight air the owl sends forth His screech while perched upon the chimney top. Then seems a chill of coldness and a strange Convulsive fear to seize the earth around, And ev'ry leaf coils close within itself.
