Part of Confessions
Again with a lifted voice,.. like a trumpet that
takes
The low note of a viol that trembles, and triumph-
ing breaks
On the air with it, solemn and clear.. "I have
sinned not in this!
Where I loved, I have loved much and well,—I
have loved not amiss.
Let the living," she said,
"Inquire of the Dead,
In the house of the pale-faced Images,—
And my own true Dead will answer for me, that I
have not loved amiss,
In my love for all these.
