years�察   �And     if  Mildred's    heart   was    heavy�察   �and   at  times    her   blue   eyes 

glistened�察  �Still   in   thought   she   would   not   whisper   aught   of   sorrow   or   of 

fears。 

     Autumn       with    its  golden     corn´fields�察   �autumn      with    its  storms    and 

showers�察  �Had   been   there   to   greet   his   coming   with   its   forests   gold   and 

brown�察�And   the   last   leaves   still   were   falling�察  �fading   still   the   year's   last 

flowers�察�When he left the quiet village�察�and took back his bride to town。 

     Homethe        home     that   she   had   pictured     many     a  time    in  twilight�察�

dwelling On that tender gentle fancy�察�folded round with loving care�察�Here 

was homethe end�察�the haven�察�and what spirit voice seemed telling�察�That 

she only held the casket�察�with the gem no longer there�拭�

     Sad   it   may  be   to   be   longing�察  �with   a  patience   faint   and   weary�察  �For   a 

hope deferredand sadder still to see it fade and fall�察�Yet to grasp the thing 

we long for�察�and�察�with sorrow sick and dreary�察�THEN to find how it can 

fail us�察�is the saddest pain of all。 

     What      was    wanting�拭       �He     was    gentle�察   �kind�察  �and    generous      still�察�

deferring To her wishes always�察�nothing seemed to mar their tranquil life�此�

There are skies so calm and leaden that we long for storm´winds stirring�察�

There is peace so cold and bitter�察�that we almost welcome strife。 

     Darker   grew   the   clouds   above   her�察  �and   the   slow   conviction   clearer�察�

That he gave her home and pity�察�but that heart�察�and soul�察�and mind Were 

beyond her now�察�he loved her�察�and in youth he had been near her�察�But he 

now had gone far onward�察�and had left her there behind。 

     Yes�察    �beyond     her�此    �yes�察   �quick´hearted�察      �her   Love     helped     her   in 

revealing   It   was   worthless�察  �while   so   mighty�察  �was   too   weak�察  �although   so 

strong�察�There were courts she could not enter�察�depths she could not sound�察�

yet feeling It was vain to strive or struggle�察�vainer still to mourn or long。 

     He   would   give   her   words   of   kindness�察  �he   would   talk   of   home�察  �but 

seeming With an absent look�察�forgetting if he held or dropped her hand�察�

And then turn with eager pleasure to his writing�察�reading�察�dreaming�察�Or to

speak of things with others that she could not understand。 

     He had paid�察�and paid most nobly�察�all he owed�察�no need of blaming�察�It 

had cost him something�察�may be�察�that no future could restore�此�In her heart 

of hearts she knew it�察�Love and Sorrow�察�not complaining�察�Only suffered all 

the deeper�察�only loved him all the more。 

     Sometimes then a stronger anguish�察�and more cruel�察�weighed upon her�察�

That through all those years of waiting�察�he had slowly learnt the truth�察�He 

had    known     himself    mistaken�察    �but   that�察 �bound    to  her   in  honour�察   �He 

renounced his life�察�to pay her for the patience of her youth。 

     But a star was slowly rising from that mist of grief�察�and brighter Grew 

her   eyes�察  �for   each   slow   hour   surer   comfort   seemed   to   bring�察  �And   she 

watched with strange sad smiling�察�how her trembling hands grew slighter�察�

And how thin her slender finger�察�and how large her wedding´ring。 

     And   the   tears   dropped   slowly   on   it�察  �as   she   kissed   that   golden   token 

With     a  deeper    love�察  �it  may    be�察 �than    was   in  the   far´off   past�察  �And 

remembering   Philip's   fancy�察  �that   so   long   ago   was   spoken�察  �Thought   her 

Ring's bright angel guardian had stayed near her to the last。 

     Grieving sorely�察�grieving truly�察�with a tender care and sorrow�察�Philip 

watched the slow�察�sure fading of his gentle�察�patient wife�察�Could he guess 

with what a yearning she was longing for the morrow�察�Could he guess the 

bitter knowledge that had wearied her of life�拭�

     Now with violets strewn upon her�察�Mildred lies in peaceful sleeping�察�

All unbound her long�察�bright tresses�察�and her throbbing heart at rest�察�And 

the   cold�察  �blue   rays   of   moonlight�察  �through   the   open   casement   creeping�察�

Show the ring upon her finger�察�and her hands crossed on her breast。 

     Peace at last。     Of peace eternal is her calm sweet smile a token。 Has 

some angel lingering near her let a radiant promise fall�拭�Has he told her 

Heaven unites again the links that Earth has broken�拭�For on Earth so much 

is needed�察�but in Heaven Love is all� �

                           THOUGHTS 



                        I。    FROM ;LAVATER。; 



    Trust him little who doth raise To one height both great and small�察�And 

sets the sacred crown of praise�察�Smiling�察�on the head of all。 

    Trust   him   less   who   looks   around   To   censure   all   with   scornful   eyes�察�

And in everything has found Something that he dare despise。 

    But for one who stands apart�察�Stirred by nought that can befall�察�With a 

cold indifferent heart�察 � Trust him least and last of all。 



                    II。    FROM ;PHANTASTES。; 



    I have a bitter Thought�察�a Snake That used to sting my life to pain。 I 

strove to cast it far away�察�But every night and every day It crawled back to 

my heart again。 

    It was in vain to live or strive�察�To think or sleep�察�to work or pray�察�At 

last I bade this thine accursed Gnaw at my heart�察�and do its worst�察�And so I 

let it have its way。 

    Thus said I�察 �I shall never fall Into a false and dreaming peace�察�And 

then awake�察�with sudden start�察�To feel it biting at my heart�察�For now the 

pain can never cease。; 

    But I gained more�察�for I have found That such a snake's envenomed 

charm Must always�察  �always find   a part�察  �Deep in   the centre of my  heart�察�

Which it can never wound or harm。 

    It is coiled round my heart to´day。 It sleeps at times�察�this cruel snake�察�

And while it sleeps it never stings�此� Hush� �let us talk of other things�察�Lest 

it should hear me and awake。

                      III。      FROM ;LOST ALICE。; 



     Yes�察  �dear�察  �our   Love   is   slain�察  �In   the   cold   grave   for   evermore   it   lies�察�

Never  to   wake   again�察 �Or   light our   sorrow  with   its starry  eyes�察�And   so 

regret is vain。 

     One hour of pain and dread�察�We killed our Love�察�we took its life away 

With   the   false   words   we   said�察�And so   we   watch   it�察 �since   that   cruel   day�察�

Silent�察�and cold�察�and dead。 

     We should have seen it shine Long years beside us。                Time and Death 

might   try   To   touch   that   life   divine�察  �Whose   strength   could   every   other 

stroke defy Save only thine and mine。 

     No longing can restore Our dead again。              Vain are the tears we weep�察�

And   vainly   we   deplore   Our   buried   Love�此    �its   grave   lies   dark   and   deep 

Between us evermore。 



                                 IV。      FROM * * * 



     Within the kingdom of my Soul I bid you enter�察�Love�察�to´day�察�Submit 

my life to your control�察�And give my Heart up to your sway。 

     My Past�察�whose light and life is flown�察�Shall live through memory for 

you still�察�Take all my Present for your own�察�And mould my Future to your 

will。 

     One only thought remains apart�察�And will for ever so remain�察�There is 

one Chamber in my heart Where even you might knock in vain。 

     A haunted Chamber�此� long ago I closed it�察�and I cast the key Where 

deep and bitter waters flow�察�Into a vast and silent sea。 

     Dear�察�it is haunted。      All the rest Is yours�察�but I have shut that door For 

ever now。      'Tis even best That I should enter it no more。 

     No   more。    It   is   not   well   to   stay With   ghosts�察  �their   very  look   would 

scare Your      joyous�察�loving smile away ´ So never try to enter there。 

     Check�察�if you love me�察�all regret That this one thought remains apart�此� 

Now let us smile�察�dear�察�and forget The haunted Chamber in my Heart。

        VERSE�此                  �LIGHT AND SHADE 



    Thou hast done well to kneel and say�察 �Since He who gave can take 

away�察�And bid me suffer�察�I obey。; 

    And also well to tell thy heart That good lies in the bitterest part�察�And 

thou wilt profit by her smart。 

    But bitter hours come to all�此�When even truths like these will pall�察�Sick 

hearts for humbler comfort call。 

    Then I would have thee strive to see That good and evil come to thee�察�

As one of a great family。 

    And as material life is planned�察�That even the loneliest one must stand 

Dependent on his brother's hand�察�

     So links more subtle and more fine Bind every other soul to thine In 

one great brotherhood divine。 

    Nor with   thy  share of   work be   vexed�察�Though incomplete�察 �and   even 

perplex�察�It fits exactly to the next。 

    What seems so dark to thy dim sight May be a shadow�察�seen   aright�察�

Making some brightness doubly bright。 

    The flash that struck thy tree��no more To shelter thee��lets Heaven's 

blue floor Shine where it never shone before。 

    Thy life that has been dropped aside Into Time's stream�察�may stir the 

tide�察�In rippled circles spreading wide。 

    The cry wrung from thy spirit's pain May echo on some far´off plain�察�

And guide a wanderer home again。 

    Failyet   rejoice�察  �because   no   less   The   failure   that   makes
