Hither—hold palm out—take this quarter-as!"

And who did take it? As he raised his head,

(My gesture was a trifle—well—abrupt,)

Back fell the broad flap of the peasant's-hat,

The homespun cloak that muffled half his cheek

Dropped somewhat, and I had a glimpse—just one!

One was enough. Whose—whose might be the face?

That unkempt careless hair—brown, yellowish—

Those sparkling eyes beneath their eyebrows' ridge

(Each meets each, and the hawk-nose rules between)
