And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;

Three fields to cross till a farm appears;

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

And blue spurt of a lighted match,

And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears.

Than the two hearts beating each to each!

PARTING AT MORNING.

Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,

And the sun looked over the mountain's rim:
