In such as her own lips revealed her!
Yet still when all Love’s faith was o’er,
Love’s tenderness remained to shield her.
And when the moment came to break
The subtle chain around me cast,
Like me she seemed in soul to ache
At riving of its links at last.
Could they betray my mind once more,
Those pleading looks? yes! even then,
So sweet the guise of truth they wore,
