And my restless sprite on the beacon’s height,

For a space is doomed to dwell.

“At our trysting-place, for a certain space,

I must wander to and fro;

But I had not had power to come to thy bower,

Hadst thou not conjured me so.”—

Love mastered fear—her brow she crossed;

“How, Richard, hast thou sped?

And art thou saved, or art thou lost?”

The vision shook his head!
