Show in Haunted Ways. In haunted ways I set my feet, "When pales the wistful after-glow; The ghostly presence is so sweet, No lightest fear my heart may know! The sigh of darksome boughs I hear One spell the whispering leaves repeat; One only voice, in all. I hear, One only face I meet! In haunted ways I set my feet. By day. by night where'er I range; The ghostly presence is so sweet, My heart, forsooth, desires no change! Clear rings the thrush's matin call. The wakening eyes of flowers 1 greet; One only voice I hear in all. One only face I meet! In haunted ways 1 set my feet. Where'er I go Where'er I go where'er I go. The mystic thralldom is complete; And yet, it was not always so. I only loved since yester-year-Then first my heart did truly beat! Since then one only voice I hear, One only face I meet! Edith Thomas, in Harper's Bazaar. |
