THROUGH A VEIL.

Can love suddenly disclose

The soul history writ within

Her dim room where nothing stirs

Save high thought's interpreters,

Passion, and no voice but hers?

Yes . . . perhaps; some instant grace

Of remember'd months and years

May unveil the drooping face;

Eyes that shine with blissful tears,

Looking others thro' and thro',

Shall disclose their secret; true

Will the tale be, told to you!

But 'tis hard to wait and wait

Till the moment - if it may -

Strike that soul-spark; all too late
