AS IF A PHANTOM CARESS'D ME.
As if a phantom caress'd me,I thought I was not alone walking here by the shore;
But the one I thought was with me as now I walk by the shore, the one I loved that caress'd me,
As I lean and look through the glimmering light, that one has utterly disappear'd.
And those appear that are hateful to me and mock me.
