[The Miller's Daughter]

[Lines not used in the final version]

[_]

Verses omitted from p. 151

Remember you the clear moonlight
That whiten'd all the eastern ridge,
When o'er the water dancing white
I stepp'd upon the old mill bridge?
I heard you whisper from above,
A lute-toned whisper, ‘I am here!’
I murmur'd ‘Speak again, my love,
The stream is loud: I cannot hear!’
I heard, as I have seem'd to hear,
When all the under-air was still,
The low voice of the glad New Year
Call to the freshly-flower'd hill.
I heard, as I have often heard,
The nightingale in leavy woods
Call to its mate when nothing stirr'd
To left or right but falling floods.
