XVIII

Part of The Miller's Daughter

Remember you the clear moonlight,

That whitened all the eastern ridge,

When o'er the water, dancing white,

I stepped upon the old millbridge.

I heard you whisper from above

A lutetoned whisper, "I am here;"

I murmured, "Speak again, my love,

The stream is loud: I cannot hear."
