THROUGH A VEIL.

May it flame and fade, I say!

If I dared - if it might be -

With bold fingers suddenly

Lift the shadowing veil and see!

Love will not be coaxt or spurr'd

Faster than time's whirling wheels

Follow trackless . . . Yet to have heard

Music sung divine, one feels

Somehow for the melody

Nobler: loving her, so I

Hold a higher destiny.
