Through that aerial fir-grove, could preserve 415

Some portion of its human history

As gathered from the Matron’s lips, and tell

Of tears that have been shed at sight of it,

And moving dialogues between this pair,

Who in their prime of wedlock, with joint hands 420

Did plant the grove, now flourishing, while they

No longer flourish, he entirely gone,

She withering in her loneliness. Be this

A task above my skill; the silent mind
