“And so farewell! perchance on Earth

God’s finger—as ’twixt thee and me—

Will never make that wonder clear

Why thus It drew me unto thee.”

Memnon, Leipzig, 1898, p. 104.

And this:—

“It was the day of our first meeting—

That happy day, in Davern’s grove—

I felt the Spring wind’s tender greeting,

And April touched my heart to love.
