Dim woven leaves, and midst the floating breath

Of hidden forest-flowers.

’Tis past! I wake,

A captive, and alone, and far from thee,

My love and friend! Yet fostering, for thy sake,

A quenchless hope of happiness to be;

And feeling still my woman-spirit strong,

In the deep faith which lifts from earthly wrong

A heavenward glance. I know, I know our love
