Loving friend, t of one

    rue faith has run

    ture,

    Be my benediction said

    ithy head,

    Gentle felloure!

    Like a ladys ringlets brown,

    Flohy silken ears adown

    Either side demurely

    Of ted breast

    S from all t

    Of thy body purely.

    Darkly brohy body is,

    till triking this

    Alcs dullness,

    he sleek curls manifold

    Flaso gold

    ith a burnished fulness.

    Underneatroking hand,

    Startled eyes of hazel bland

    Kindling, growing larger,

    Up t h a spring,

    Full of prank and curveting,

    Leaping like a charger.

    Leap! tail ,

    Leap! t are bright,

    Canopied in fringes;

    Leap! tasselled ears of thine

    Flicker strangely, fair and fine

    Doheir golden inches

    Yet, my pretty, sportive friend,

    Little ist to such an end

    t I praise thy rareness;

    Othy peers

    hese drooping ears

    And this glossy fairness.

    But of t shall be said,

    tched beside a bed

    Day and night unweary,

    atcained room

    he gloom

    Round the sick and dreary.

    Roses, gathered for a vase,

    In t chamber died apace,

    Beam and breeze resigning;

    ted on,

    Kno w is gone

    Love remains for shining.

    Othymy dew

    tracked through

    Sunny moor or meadow;

    t and crept

    Next a languid c slept,

    She shadow.
