Stood the veil'd visitant. The breath of flowers

Foretold her coming. With their wealth she brought

Grapes in the cluster, and a clasped Book,

The holiest, and the best.

"Show me thine eyes!"

He pray'd. But still with undrawn veil, she gave

The promise of return, in whisper sweet,

"Good night! good night!

Wilt read my Book? and say

Oh Lamb of God, forgive!"
