Lock fast the gates of thy sad heart! But those

That held the key to thine unspoken woes—

Forget them not!

XXXVI

Beloved, who has bid thee ask no more

How fares my life? to play the enemy

And ask not where he dwells that was thy friend?

Thou art the breath of mercy passing o’er

The whole wide world, and the offender I;

Ah, let the rift my tears have channelled end,
