Nature
XXIII
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Nature
"Give back!" she hath departed--
The word is wandering with her;
And the stricken maidens hear afar
The step and cry together.
Frail symbols? None are frail enow
For mortal joys to borrow!--
While bright doth float Nuleeni's boat,
She weepeth dark with sorrow.
The river floweth on.
