And still the gentle Lucy's plaintive eyes
Retold their earnest story to his own:
The light pathetic tremor of the hand,
More eloquent than speech, assured him well
That some one still cared for him in the world;
The chance that lost his dearest, gave him this,
A gentle heart; why should this also go,
Why drag unloved his solitary years?
