[FEBRUARY.]

[Lines from a later draft.]

[_]

Fragment containing another experiment in lyric on the same theme.

Still in the world old tales of Her they tell [OMITTED]
They gaze upon the images men made
Long time ago, before they grew afraid

xxiij

To call upon her beauty for their aid;
“Alas,” they say, “that she no more is here!”
But who knows, who knows what great happiness
The heart of such a happy man would bless
As wandered hither from the world's distress?
O the kind heart of her that dwelleth here.
