Love
I by spells had been beguiled
From Underneath the Bough (1898)
Love
I by spells had been beguiled
To a marish country wild,
Where a lonely hearted child
Crossed me; and I felt she knew
All the way she wandered through,
Though the reeds around her blew,
And the dusk was in her rear,
As I watched her disappear
'Mid the flitting umbrage drear.
