      • Slowly we disarray
      • I stood to hear that bold
      • Others may drag at memory's fetter
      • Bring me life of fickle breath
      • Ah me, how sadder than to say farewell
      • Death, for all thy grasping stealth
      • Little Lettice is dead, they say
      • I would not have the wind pass by
      • Solitary Death, make me thine own
      • Come, mete me out my loneliness, o wind
      • I by spells had been beguiled
      • O Love, o bitter, mortal journeying
      • I would not die
      • They buried him - ah, I have not thought -
      • She mingled me rue and roses
      • When thou to death, fond one, wouldst fain be starting
      • There is a fair, white relic in my room
      • Vain Death, thou hast no staying
      • Winds to-day are large and free
      • He with the Gentle Ones is hid from sight
      • Thanatos, thy praise I sing

I by spells had been beguiled

    Annotations

    I BY spells had been beguiled 
    To a marish country wild, 
    Where a lonely hearted child 
    Crossed me ; and I felt she knew 
    All the way she wandered through, 
    Though the reeds around her blew, 
    And the dusk was in her rear, 
    As I watched her disappear 
    'Mid the flitting umbrage drear.
