Denzil place

a story in verse. By Violet Fane [i.e. M. M. Lamb]

But Constance did not hear these calumnies
(Having, alas, a fatal grain of truth!)—
Those envious voices did not penetrate
The tangled brakes of Denzil Park, which rose
Bird-haunted, flower starr'd, a leafy screen
Between the idle whisp'ring world and her.
