THE GOSSAMER.
[_]

FROM THE GERMAN OF UHLAND.

We walked within the fields, and fast
Flew by, light spun by Fairies' hand,
A shining thread that as we past
Between us linked a fragile band;
I took it for a Sign! in scorn
Love holds not such slight omens, they
Are like its own fond hopings, born
Of vapour, breathed by air away!
