Sainted maid!
Through the long wintry night.html">night, when wind and wave
Yet, hush! my fond heart, hush! there is a shore
When the long sabbath of the tomb is past,
FRAGMENTS.[1]
Through yon dark firs it glanced, and on the stream
Again, more light it gleam'd,--or does some sprite.html">sprite
And lamp far beaming through the thicket's gloom,
Of revelry, or thrifty watchfulness,
No sprite deludes mine eyes,--the beam now glows
Who, hidden long by the invidious veil
No moon to-night has look'd upon the sea
She has been sleeping with Endymion.

The pious man,
Hide Heaven's fine circlet, springs aloft in.
