Scornfully laugh'd he as I went--'What would'st thou have i Sweet Life! 'Little matters for love's content 'That empty name of Wife.' So a year pass'd by, and we two ne'er met; And I tried to loathe his name. And no one cared for the cheeks tear-wet But the one I would not claim. A long long year. And then again We two were side by side. By the death-bed of my lord we twain Were watching, till he died. Then love's dark hate pass'd out of me, And I pray'd again--True Heart! Love me and wed me.

He laugh'd, but his voice was kind: The rich sweet voice of the summer days Till I grew sick and blind And dizzy in' Love's great glare of light. Then fell Love's shadow--Hate: And e'er the cloud had left my sight The Man, the Loved, my Life's Delight, Lay dead at his own gate.
