The Book of Gold (fragment)

A pious Hindoo assures me that the woman still lives, leading a very unhappy life with the demon, the husband being long dead and gone.”

Symphathy

Ah, dearest ! nevermore
Will I of fate complain ;
Since thou hast wept for me

For evermore is glad,
Because the Heaven of heavens
For love of her was sad.
