SONG
[Though veiled in spires of myrtle-wreath]
Though veiled in spires of myrtle-wreath,Love is a sword which cuts its sheath,
And through the clefts itself has made,
We spy the flashes of the blade!
451
We likewise see Love's flashing blade,
By rust consumed, or snapt in twain;
And only hilt and stump remain.
?1825.
