Arrived at home, how then they gazed around,

620

In every place—where she no more was found;

The seat at table she was wont to fill;

The fire-side chair, still set, but vacant still;

The garden-walks, a labour all her own,

The latticed bower, with trailing shrubs o'ergrown;

The Sunday-pew she fill'd with all her race—

Each place of hers, was now a sacred place,

That, while it call'd up sorrows in the eyes,
