It seem'd to be wrapp'd in a great dark shawl, (For the night was a little cold, you know:) It would not speak. It was black and tall ; And it walk'd so proudly and very slow.
Then it mock'd me— every thing I could do : Now it caught at the lightning-flies like me ; Now it stopp'd where the elder-blossoms grew ; Now it tore the thorns from an old dead tree.
106 MY GHOST.
Still it follow'd me under the yellow moon, Looking back to the graveyard now and then, Where the winds were playing the nigh...t a tune — But, Kate, a Ghost does n't care for men^ And your papa couldnH have done it harm I Ah, dark-eyed darling, what is it you see ?
There, you needn't hide in your dimpled arm — It was only my Shadow that walk'd with me !
107 TO MARIAN ASLEEP.
The full moon glimmers still and white, Where yonder shadowy clonds unfold ; The stars, like children of the Night, Lie with their little heads of gold On her dark lap : nor less divine, And brighter, seems your own on mine.
My darling, with your snowy sleep Folded around your dimpled form, Your little breathings calm and deep, Your mother's arms and heart are warm ; You wear as lilies in your breast The dreams that blossom from your rest.
