XVII.
They parted, yes, they parted;Alas! not as they met;
Love's sunshine had been darken'd by
The shadow of regret;
And Hope and Fear, alternately,
With all their powers try,
Within their battle-field, the heart,
To gain the mastery;
Till, wearied with the doubtful strife,
The rivals quit the plain,
And calm reflection takes the place
Vacated by the twain.
