To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Which with smiles she strove to hide, When I said — " These Nature fashions For the tresses of a bride." " Yes," she said, " for raven tresses Fairest lilies — ^purest pearls !" Then her laughing eyes she lifted — Shook her wealth of golden curls.
Digitized by Google 93 And a glory seemed to crown her.
Such as the old masters paint.
In the soft, yet dazzling halo Round the brows of pictured saint.
Now our words are low and murmured, And the hours unheeded go, As we drift among the shallows, Whe...re the fairest lilies grow.
Now no more her eyes are lifted.
Paler grows her flushing cheek.
And the tender, pensive silence Bids me win her, bids me speak.
And I spoke — in words impassioned — All my secret soul revealed.
All the boundless love I cherished.
Cherished long — so long concealed.
Slowly rose those silken lashes.
And those clear and candid eyes Digitized by Google 94 Looked in mine serene and tender As the depths of April skies.
And that angel head declining For an instant seemed to rest, A beloved and lovely burden, On my wildly throbbing breast.
