Earth was a round of bliss, I seemed to walk on thrones. And you were with me 'mong the rushing wheels 'Mid Trade's tumultuous jars ; And where to awe-struck wilds the Night reveals Her hollow gulf of stars. Before your window, as before a shrine, I've knelt 'mong dew-soaked flowers. While distant music-bells, with voices fine, Measured the midnight hours. 446 MISCELLANEOUS POEMS. 447 There came a fearful moment : I was pale, You wept, and never spoke, But clung around me as the woodbine frail ...Clings, pleading, round an oak. Upon my wrong I steadied up my soul, And flung thee from myself; I spurned thy love as 'twere a rich man's dole, — It was my only wealth. I spurned thee ! I, who loved thee, could have died, That hoped to call thee " wife, " And bear thee, gently — smiling at my side, Through all the shocks of life ! Too late, thy fatal beauty and thy tears, Thy vows, thy passionate breath ; I'll meet thee not in Life, nor in the spheres Made visible by Death. EDINBURGH. a fragment.
