ileadFor all that you miss, and for all that you need. Through the calm crystal air, faint and far, as she spoke,A clear, chilly chime from a church-turret broke ;And the sound of her voice, with the sound of the bell,On his ear, where he kneeled, softly, soothingly fell.All within him was wild and confused, as withinA chamber deserted in some roadside inn,Where, passing, wild travellers paused, over-night.To quaff and carouse ; in each socket each lightIs extinct; crashed the glasses, and scrawled is the wall

<A-^Siij£% ^A^ Our two paths must part us, Eugene. LUCILE. 123 With wild ribald ballads : serenely oer all,For the tirst time perceived, where the dawn-light creeps faintThrough the wrecks of that orgy, the face of a saint.Seen through some broken frame, ap-pears noting meanwhileThe ruin all round with a sorrowful smile.And he gazed round. The curtains of Darkness half drawnOped behind her ; and pure as the pure light of dawn.She stood, bathed in morning, and seemed to his eyesFrom their sight to be melting away in the skiesThat expanded around her. There passed through his headA fancy, — a vision. That woman was deadHe had loved long ago, — loved and lost ! dead to him,Dead to all the life left him ; but there, in the dimDewy light of the dawn, stood a spirit; t was hers ;And he said to the soul of Lucile de Nevers : 0 soul to its sources departing away !Pray for mine, if one soul for another may pray.I to ask have no right, thou to give hast no power.One hope to my heart.
