  "We moved with pensive paces,
    I and he,
  And bent our faded faces
    Wistfully,
For something troubled him, and troubled me.
  "The lanthorn feebly lightened
    Our grey hall,
  Where ancient brands had brightened
    Hearth and wall,
And shapes long vanished whither vanish all.
  "'O why, Love, nightly, daily,'
    I had said,
  'Dost sigh, and smile so palely,
    As if shed
Were all Life's blossoms, all its dear things dead?'
  "'Since silence sets thee grieving,'
    He replied,
  'And I abhor deceiving
    One so tried,
Why, Love, I'll speak, ere time us twain divide.'
