CL

[Her face, for utter stillness, hath no peer.]

Her face, for utter stillness, hath no peer.
Whether the Spring makes verdant hill and plain,
Or the snow falleth, or the soft sweet rain,
She changeth not throughout the changing year,
Her eyes are tranquil: not the hosts of Fear,
Not grief, although he rent her heart in twain,
Nor joy, although he gave it her again,
Could from those crystal depths compel a tear.
The fighting waters, meeting as they fight
In frothy combat with the flood increase,
They leave the pool above them clear and bright,
But flecked with floam, to show where strife did cease.
How vain this token of their vanished might!
How dreadful was the war that left this peace!
