The Widows dwell together—so we call

The younger woman; widow’d are they all;

But she, the poor Elizabeth, it seems

Not life in her—she lives not, but she dreams;

She looks on Philip, and in him can find

Not much to mark in body or in mind— 290

He who was saved; and then her very soul

Is in that scene—her thoughts, beyond control,

Fix’d on that night, and bearing her along,

Amid the waters terrible and strong;
