— Since last I trod that silent street 'Tis many a year ago : And, if I there could set my feet Once more, I do not know If I should find it where it was, That house upon the river : But the light that lit the casement- glass I know is dark forever. Hark ! wheels below, . . . ray lady's knock ! — Farewell, the old romance ! — Well, dear, you're late, — past four o'clock ! — How often did you dance ? Not cooler from the crowning waltz, She takes my half the pillow. — Well, — well ! — the women f...ree from faults Have beds below the willow ! AT HOME AFTER THE BALL. The clocks are calling Three Across the silent floors. The fire in the library Dies out ; through the open doors The red empty room you may see. In the nursery, up stairs. The child had gone to sleep. Half-way 'twixt dreams and prayers. When the hall-door made him leap To its thunders unawares. Like love in a worldly breast. Alone in my lady's chamber, Tlie lamp burns lo-sv, supprest 'Mid satins of broidered amber, Where she stands, half undrest : 15 Her bosom all unlaced : Her cheeks with a bright re d stop : Her long dark hair displaced, Down streaming, heeded not.
