V \ 21 XX In nature's strange and mighty revolutions He saw no evidence of a guiding hand, But found one force in all its evolutions At work though working in a mode unplanned ; With no power else its workings to withstand : That force no count of good or evil took, And never heeded if it blessed or banned That little creature with the puzzled look Who its unmoral deeds could not approve or brook. XXI Such was, or so appeared he, — for I own That there were depths in him we could not sound : He... had an inner life to us unknown ; And oft we saw him steeped in a profound Reverie, insensible to all around. Wherein strange visions seemed him to enthral. And so with us, retired and unrenowned. He lived till death him forth from us did call, Who mourned him long, though such a riddle to us all. \ 23 THE CHATELAINE OF THE CASTLE OF INDOLENCE 'X'HOUGH in our Castle women were but few, ■*• Since few there are whom restful calm contents, And most for aye strange fantasies pursue, . While love of change still in their minds ferments, And evermore their wit new wants invents, Yet some with their bright presence graced our home, Nor pined to traverse seas or continents For ever after some new thing to roam.
