What I can’t see I never will believe in!
A MEDLEY.
| I only know she came and went, | [Lowell. |
| Like troutlets in a pool; | [Hood. |
| She was a phantom of delight, | [Wordsworth. |
| And I was like a fool. | [Eastman. |
| One kiss, dear maid, I said, and sighed, | [Coleridge. |
| Out of those lips unshorn! | [Longfellow. |
| She shook her ringlets round her head, | [Stoddard. |
| And laughed in merry scorn. | [Tennyson. |
| Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, | [Tennyson. |
| You hear them, Oh, my heart, | [Alice Cary. |
| ’Tis twelve at night by the castle clock— | [Coleridge. |
| Beloved, we must part. | [Alice Cary. |
| Come back, come back, she cried in grief, | [Campbell. |
| My eyes are dim with tears; | [B. Taylor. |
| How shall I live through all the days, | [Mrs. Osgood. |
| All through a hundred years? | [J. J. Perry. |
| ’Twas in the prime of summer time, | [Hood. |
| She blessed me with her hand; | [Hoyt. |
| We strayed together deeply blest, | [Mrs. Edwards. |
| Into the dreaming land. | [Cornwall. |
| The laughing bridal roses blew, | [Patmore. |
| To deck her dark brown hair, | [B. Taylor. |
| No maiden may with her compare, | [Brailsford. |
| Most beautiful, most rare! | [Read. |
| I clasped it on her sweet cold hand, | [Browning. |
| The precious golden link; | [Smith. |
| I calmed her fears, and she was calm— | [Coleridge. |
| Drink, pretty creature, drink! | [Wordsworth. |
| And so I won my Genevieve, | [Coleridge. |
| And walked in Paradise; | [Hervey. |
| The fairest thing that ever grew | [Wordsworth. |
| Atween me and the skies! | [Tennyson. |
ANOTHER MEDLEY.
(WHO ARE THE AUTHORS?)
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
In every clime, from Lapland to Japan;
To fix one spark of beauty’s heavenly ray,
