Narrative poems on the Female Character | ||
XXIII.
Prone on the grave the mourner prays,And the pale taper's sickly rays
Upon her features fall,
Crossing the gay and golden light,
That from the casement streams so bright,
With wavering shade;—her very sight
Might timid hearts appal!
229
Her ghastly face, whence coloring warm,
And sense and motion seem to fly;
Her robe dark as the evening storm;
Her fix'd unnatural eye;
All, with a thousand tongues, declare,
This is not grief,—it is despair!
