All thoughts were on her—all beside her own.

Negligent as the blossoms of the field,

Arrayed in candour and simplicity,

Before her path she heard the streams of joy

Murmur her name in all their cadences,

Saw them in every scene, in light, in shade,

Reflect her image; but acknowledged them

Hers most complete when flowing from her most.

All things in want of her, herself of none,

Pomp and dominion lay beneath her feet
