THE TRAVELLER AND HIS WIFE'S RINGLET. - ZaunköniG - 28.10.2007 THE TRAVELLER AND HIS WIFE'S RINGLET. I HAVE a circlet of thy sunny hair, A light from home, a blessing to mine eyes ; Though grave and mournful thoughts will often rise, As I behold it mutely glistening there, So still, so passive ! like a treasure's key, Unconscious of the dreams it doth compel, Of gems and gold, high-piled in secret cell, Too royal for a vulgar gaze to see ! If they were stolen, the key could never tell ; If thou wert dead, what should thy ringlet say ? It shows the same, betide thee ill or well, Smiling in love, or shrouded in decay ; It cannot darken for dead Isabel, Nor blanch if thy young head grew white to-day. |
