Most beautiful most gentle Yet how lost	A
To all that gladdens the fair earth the eye	B
That watched her being the maternal care	C
That kept and nourished her and the calm light	D
That steals from our own thoughts and softly rests	E
On youth's green vallies and smooth sliding waters	F
Alas few suns of life and fewer winds	G
Had withered or had wasted the fresh rose	H
That bloomed upon her cheek but one chill frost	A
Came in that early Autumn when ripe thought	I
Is rich and beautiful and blighted it	J
And the fair stalk grew languid day by day	K
And drooped and drooped and shed its many leaves	L
'Tis said that some have died of love and some	M
Love's passionate feelings and heart wasting cares	N
have spurned life's threshold with a desperate foot	O
And others have gone mad and she was one	P
Her lover died at sea and they had felt	Q
A coldness for each other when they parted	R
But love returned again and to her ear	S
Came tidings that the ship which bore her lover	T
Had sullenly gone down at sea and all were lost	A
I saw her in her native vale when high	B
The aspiring lark up from the reedy river	T
Mounted on cheerful pinion and she sat	U
Casting smooth pebbles into a clear fountain	P
And marking how they sunk and oft she sighed	V
For him that perished thus in the vast deep	W
She had a sea shell that her lover brought	I
From the far distant ocean and she pressed	X
Its smooth cold lips unto her ear and thought	I
It whispered tiding of the dark blue sea	Y
And sad she cried 'The tides are out and now	Z
I see his corse upon the stormy beach '	A2
Around her neck a string of rose lipped shells	B2
And coral and white pearl was loosely hung	C2
And close beside her lay a delicate fan	D2
Made of the halcyon's blue wing and when	E2
She looked upon it it would calm her thoughts	F2
As that bird calms the ocean for it gave	G2
Mournful yet pleasant memory Once I marked	H2
When through the mountain hollows and green woods	I2
That bent beneath its footsteps the loud wind	J2
Came with a voice as of the restless deep	W
She raised her head and on her pale cold cheek	K2
A beauty of diviner seeming came	L2
And then she spread her hands and smiled as if	M2
She welcomed a long absent friend and then	E2
Shrunk timorously back again and wept	N2
I turned away a multitude of thoughts	F2
Mournful and dark were crowding on my mind	J2
And as I left that lost and ruined one	P
A living monument that still on earth	O2
There is warm love and deep sincerity	Y
She gazed upon the west where the blue sky	B
Held like an ccean in its wide embrace	P2
Those fairy islands of bright cloud that lay	K
So calm and quietly in the thin ether	T
And then she pointed where alone and high	B
One little cloud sailed onward like a lost	A
And wandering bark and fainter grew and fainter	T
And soon was swallowed up in the blue depths	Q2
And when it sunk away she turned again	E2
With sad despondency and tears to earth	O2
	-
Three long and weary months yet not a whisper	T
Of stern reproach for that cold parting Then	E2
She sat no longer by her favorite fountain	P
She was at rest forever	T
