eye      That shone beside me there� �

     Above our heads an ancient oak              Its strong�察�wide arms held out�察�And 

from   its   roots   a   fountain   broke�察   �With   a   tiny   laughing   shout�察�And   the 

fairy   people   of   the   wild    Were   bending   to   their   rest�察�As   trustingly   as 

sleeps the child        Upon its mother's breast。 

     Soft�察�silvery  cloudlets�察 �pure  and   white�察        �Along   the sky  were  hung�察�

As if the spirits of the night         Their mantles there had flung�察�And then the 

night´breeze pensively           Sighed from its unseen throne�察�And far o'er field�察�

and flower�察�and tree�察        �A hallowed light came down。 

     But in our breasts was springing up              A something lovelier far�察�Than 

field�察�or tree�察�or flow'ret's cup�察       �Or sun�察�or moon�察�or star� �We heeded not 

the fountain near�察       �Its song of gladness singing�察�For in our hearts a fount 

more dear�察       �And pure�察�and sweet�察�was springing。 

     And   she   was   one   whom   fortune's   smile        Had   gladdened   from   her 

birth�察�Yet her high spirit knew no guile�察            �No blot nor stain of earth�察�And 

I was but a friendless boy�察          �And yet her heart was mine�察�I knew it�察�and 

the thought was joy�察        �A joy all�察�all divine� �

     From out a braided mass she took               This single lock of jet�察�And gave 

it with that pleading look          Which�察�said�察 �Do not forget。; Forget� �as soon 

the waves that roll         The ocean's caves above�察�May tell their secrets�察�as 

the soul      Forget its earliest love。 

     It has been with me now for years�察               �Long years of care and strife�察�

And shall be with me till time wears               Away my web of life。 And when 

death's keen�察�resistless dart�察        �Shall bid its sorrows cease�察�This tress shall 

rest upon my heart�察�Its talisman of peace。 

       ;'Twas little she thought that I stood breathless by her side listening 

to   the   song   she   sang   as   she   sat   by   the   sea's   edge�察  �pondering   so   deeply�察�

upon     me    too  perhaps�察   �that   the  white    foam    glimmered      on   her   brow 

unheeded。; Onagh�察�The Pale Child of the Brehon King。

     She stood beside the wide wild sea�察          �The winds howled hoarse and 

high�察�And dark clouds�察�drifting drearily�察        �Swept o'er the starless sky。 

    Her breast was white as mountain snow�察             �Her locks hung loose and 

free�察�The foam that glimmered on her brow�察           �Was scarce so pale as she。 

     She  sang   a  mournful   song   of  love�察  �Of   trusting   love betrayed�察�Ah�察�

why did he who won her�察�prove           So faithless to the maid�拭�

     ;Why   pines   my   heart   so   wearily�察  �Why   heaves   my   aching   breast�察�

And why is sleep so far from me�察         �When others are at rest�拭�

     ;Thou�察�truant wanderer o'er the deep�察        �The cause of all my cares�察�For 

thee at night I wake and weep�察        �When none may mark my tears。 

     ;I seek the festive hall no more�察      �Its mirth no more I crave�察�My heart 

is lonely as the shore�察     �And restless as the wave。 

     ;My soul has struggled to forget          Its sleepless�察�fatal flame�察�I know 

thy vows were false�察�and yet         My love is still the same。 

     ;Still o'er the dream I nursed too well�察      �My bursting heart will yearn�察�

For ever with me must it dwell�察        �Oh�察�wanderer�察�return� ─�

    A white sail fluttered in the wind�察       �A light bark skimmed the sea�察�It 

came like hope across the mind�察         �As swift and silently。 

    The    shell´strewn    beach   that  edged   the  main�察     �A   manly    footstep 

pressed�察  �The   wanderer   had   returned   again�察    �The   maiden's   heart   was 

blessed� �

                          THE DESERTED。 



     ;Come�察�sit thee by my side once more�察               �'Tis long since thus we' met�察�

And   though   our   dream   of   love   is   o'er�察   �Its   sweetness   lingers   yet。   Its 

transient   day   has   long   been   past�察   �Its   flame   has   ceased   to   burn�察  �But 

Memory holds its spirit fast�察          �Safe in her sacred urn。 

     ;I will not chide thy wanderings�察            �Nor ask why thou couldst flee A 

heart   whose   deep   affection's   springs       Poured   forth   such   love   for   thee� �

We   may   not   curb   the   restless   mind�察    �Nor   teach   the   wayward   heart   To 

love against its will�察�nor bind          It with the chains of art。 

     ;I   would   but   tell   thee   how�察  �in   tears And   bitterness�察  �my   soul   Has 

yearned   with   dreams�察  �through   long�察  �long�察  �years�察        �Which   it   could   not 

control。 And how the thought that clingeth to�察                 �And twineth round the 

past�察�For ever in my heart shall glow�察           �And be save one my last。 

     ;They say thou hast another's love�察              �Well�察�cherish it�察�but thou Its 

lack of strength and depth wilt prove�察              �Should sorrow cloud thy brow。 

Though she may  own a statelier   form�察              �A fairer   cheek than mine�察  �Her 

heart cannot so well and warm�察            �Respond each throb of thine。; 

     Her words were gentle�察�but their tone              Was sad as sorrow's sigh�察�A 

tear´drop trembled in his own             As he sought her downcast eye。 A chord 

was     struck   within    his  breast       That    long    untouched     had    lain�察 �Old 

memories started from their rest�察           �The maid was loved again。 

     Stanzas。 

     On� �there are hours of sadness�察�when the soul�察                �Torn from its every 

stay�察  �and   crushed   beneath   Its   many   griefs�察  �and   spurning   faith's   control�察�

Pants with an earnest longing for the death Which would for ever close its 

dark career�察       �With the pale shroud and the remorseless bier�察�When the 

harsh�察  �sterile   nothingness   of   life�察   �First   breaks   upon   the   hope´deluded 

breast�察�And   the   heart   sickens   with   the   bootless   strife     That   wrings   its 

chords�察�and longs to be at rest�察�Ev'n if the blow that frees it from distress�察�

Should strike it into utter nothingness。

     Ah�察  �nothingness�   �The   thought   at   times   will   come�察     �The   mind   will 

wrestle with the mystery That clouds its being� �from its clay´made home�察�

Its   dwelling   of   a   m6ment�察  �it   will   flee   Into   the   far   depths   of   the   vast

ponder�察  �watching   for   the   dawn   Of   some   yet   unconceived�察  �far´reaching 

thought�察�By which our nature's secret shall be taught� �Why sorrow is our 

elementwhy sin          Is native in usby what curse we bear An ever aching�察�

crushing   void     within     Our   secret    souls�   �and   why   the   little   share  Of 

happiness that mingles with our fate�察�Is of such fleeting�察�transitory date 1 

     Our loves� �our hopes� �what are they�拭�fruits which turn                  To ashes on 

our lips� �illusive lights That cast a moment's brightness while they burn�察�

Then die�察�and leave a darkness which affrights Our spirits with its thrice 

redoubled gloom�察�Making the sky a pallthe earth a tomb� �And yet these 

are the all of life for which         'Tis worth the wearing of its chain to know�察�

Wealth�察�fame�察�and power are but toys� �the rich�察                �The high and mighty�察�

with the base and low�察�Alike before the reaper Death must fall�察�So be it� �

in the grave is rest for all。

butterfly and bee�察        �Bear its treasures from the flower�察�When the   fields
