Unchanged and beautiful; and one by one,

The balsam, with its sweet-distilling stems,

And the Circassian rose, and all the crowd

Of silent and familiar things, stole up,

Like the recover'd passages of dreams.

He strode on rapidly. A moment more,

And he had reach'd his home; when lo! there sprang

One with a bounding footstep, and a brow

Of light to meet him. Oh how beautiful!—

Her dark eye flashing like a sun-lit gem—
