The chain of but a few wild steps.

MS. in Dorothy Wordsworth’s handwriting—sent to Lady Beaumont.

[383] 1839.

Four stanzas are here added in MS., only one of which need be given—

Our peace is of the immortal soul,

Our anguish is of clay;

Such bounty is in Heaven: so pass

The bitterest pangs away.
