“THE PEACE OF THE VALET IS FLED.”


SONGS FOR THE SENTIMENTAL. — NO. 6.

Thou hast humbled the proud,

For my spirit hath bow’d

More humbly to thee than it e’er bow’d before;

But thy pow’r is past,

Thou hast triumph’d thy last,

And the heart you enslaved beats in freedom once more!

I have treasured the flow’r
