CXLIX.

[Loved, when my love from all but thee had flown]

Loved, when my love from all but thee had flown,
Come near me; seat thee on this level stone;

152

And, ere thou lookest o'er the churchyard wall,
To catch, as once we did, yon waterfall,
Look a brief moment on the turf between,
And see a tomb thou never yet hast seen.
My spirit will be sooth'd to hear once more
Good-bye as gently spoken as before.
