VII.

I
will not look on her nearer--
My heart would be torn in twain;

>From mine eyes the garden would vanish

In the falling of their rain!

I
will not look on a sorrow
That darkens into despair;

On the surge of a heart that cannot--

Yet cannot cease to bear!

My soul to hers would be calling--

She would hear no word it said;

If I cried aloud in the stillness,

She would never turn her head!

She is dreaming the sky above her,

She is dreaming the earth below:--

This night she lost her lover,

A hundred years ago.
