Love
The Blackest of Grapes, with a Footpath Hard by
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
The blackest of grapes, with a footpath hard by,
Should scarcely be watcht with so watchful an eye
As that kid of a girl whom old Egon has made
His partner for life, nor ashamed, nor afraid.
