Nature
LXX
From The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume 2
Nature
He had left her, peradventure, when my footstep proved my coming,
But for her--she half arose, then sate, grew scarlet and grew pale.
Oh, she trembled! 't is so always with a worldly man or woman
In the presence of true spirits; what else can they do but quail?
