ld,
As fair before me shall behold,
As I do now, the cabin small,
The lake, the bay, the waterfall,
And thee, the spirit of them all!
I had finished, and the poem had been to me like a draught of the fresh
spring-water which I had sipped so often of late as it dropped from the
cup of some large green leaf.
Then I heard her gentle voice, like the first tone of the organ, which
wakens us from our dreamy devotion, and she said:
"Thus I desire you to love me, and thus the old Hofrath loves me, and
