THE DROWNED GIRL.
She lept into her little shell, A maiden slim and fair, , With eyes that mock'd th« heather-bell, And willowy, golden' hair. ' She emil'd a parting smile at me, And kisied her fairy hand, , < Then, full of childish mirth and glee, She push'd off from the strand. When next my darling's face I view, Ab, me t what change is there t — All clos'dand dim those eyes of blue, And dank che shimmering hair I That gleaming face, upheaved and tost Amongst the lilies white— The face of her I lov'd and lost Will haunt me day and night I — Wtoh Ely. Haverfordwest.
