Religion

XVII

by Adelaide Anne Procter 1825–1864

From Legends and Lyrics. Part 2

Religion

Now Christmas Eve returning,
Saw Alice stand beside
The altar, greeting Dora,
Again a smiling bride;
And now the gloomy evening
Sees Alice pale and worn,
Leaving the house for ever,
To wander out forlorn.
