God send his like again ! INTERLUDES ECHO-SONG I Who can say where Echo dwells ? In some mountain-cave, methinks, Where the white owl sits and blinks ; Or in deep sequestered dells, Where the foxglove hangs its bells, Echo dwells. Echo! Echo! n Phantom of the crj'stal Air, Daughter of sweet Mystery ! Here is one has need of thee ; 48 INTERLUDES Lead him to thy secret lair, Myrtle brings he for thy hair — Hear his prayer, Echo! Echo! Ill Echo, lift thy drowsy head, And repeat each charmed word T...hou must needs have overheard Yestere'en ere, rosy-red. Daphne down the valley fled — Words unsaid, Echo! Echo! IV Breathe the vows she since denies ! She hath broken every vow ; What she would she would not now - INTERLUDES 49 Thou didst hear her perjuries. Whisper, whilst I shut my eyes, Those sweet lies. Echo! Echo! A MOOD A BLIGHT, a gloom, I know not what, has crept upon my gladness — Some vague, remote ancestral touch of sorrow, or of mad- ness j A fear that is not fear, a pain that has not pain's in- sistence ; A sense of longing, or of loss, in some foregone exist- ence ; A subtle hurt that never pen has writ nor tongue has spoken — Such hurt perchance as Nature feels when a blossomed bough is broken.
