That by the grief of One, came all our good.

Miss Barrett.

Warm, soft, motionless,

As flowers in stillest noon before the sun,

They lie three paces from him: such they lie

As when he left them sleeping side by side,

A mother’s arm round each, a mother’s cheeks

Between them, flusht with happiness and love.

He was more changed than they were, doomed to show,

Thee and the stranger, how defaced and scarr’d
