Alone again, she felt as one bereft
Of outward help or hope, and doubted whether
'Twere wise to break with priest and church together;
“For though they fail'd to rid me of my grief,
The thought that yet they would, gave some relief;
But, now I've cast them off, I see their worth,
And feel the desolation of this earth.”
