Alas, sweet Spirits, do not leave me so, Or my poor field will into desert grow !
But now I went to kiss a dewy rose, For love of one whose pale hand planted it. Just ere her last hold upon life she quit; A lovely plant, ere torn by vengeful foes, As any flower that in my garden grows; Through the long Sabbath mornings would I Sit And think her pure soul did around it flit.
As viewless pinions broke its sweet repose ; Kneeling me there, a hateful Centipede Fell from my garments on its tender br...east, And all his hundred foot-tracks made it bleed, Staining the rich folds of its downy vest j Thrice cruel worm, for this my Rose s hurt I pluck d him off and trod him in the dirt.
Trodden in earth, that yields beneath the tread, The trampled reptile from his grave doth crawl, To soil anew the Rose s heart he bled ; With half his length drag d lifeless from his fall THE G A R D E N . 151 A loathsome weight, more vile for being dead, While yet is clinging any life at all. Nightly he comes, but when I wake is fled Into some covert of the outer wall : Witness ye dews that see my nightly search Intent the many-footed fiend to slay, How ill my heart brooks he should so besmirch A single flower in all my fair array; And thou pure moon, if thou thy lamp wilt lend, This cunning foe one night shall meet his end.
