Living
Dorothea
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Stately step, commanding eye,
Attributes of majesty,
Others may from far adore . .
Adoration! mine is more
When that stately step I see,
Swifter now, approaching me,
And that eye whose one command
Is, " Come here and take my hand"
