SufFring that only the more endears,

And love, that would reach into endless years,

Snuff' d out, it may be, in a minute!

Would you look on a mother in all her pride?

Her radiant, dazzling, glorious pride?—

Then seek yon garret—leaden-eyed—

And thrust the mouldering panel aside—

The door that has nothing to lock it,—

And the walls are tatter'd, and damp, and drear,

And the light has a quivering gleam, like fear,
