LOVERS.
Tiey eit withm a woodlanS place, Trellised with rustling light and shade; So like a spirit's is her face : That he is half afraid To speak, lest she should iade. Mysterious, beneath the boughs, Like two enchanted shapes, they -are, Whom Love hath builded them a house ! Of little leaf and star, ■ And the brown evening-jar. £o lovely and so strange a thing 1 Each is to Oivch to look upon, They dare not hearken a bird sing, \ Or from the other one ; Take eyes—lest they be gone. / t So still —the watching woodland peers j And pcc'ks about them, butterflies ! Light on her hand—a ilowerj eve heaxs Two questions, tivo replies— 0 love that nerer dies!
