Excerpt from The Inglenook, Vol. 5: A Weekly Magazine; January 3, 1903 Love came to me; but his shining eyes Were eclipsed by this costly thing; I would not fet'ter my spirit proud In the space of a wedding ring. So I chose to walk - as I walk to-day; O, desolate, hungry heart! And the path for me has ever led, From my sweet, lost love apart. Yet I hear the cooing of baby lips In my dreamings, day and night; Glad eyes flash up from their sinless depth, And I cannot bear the sight.
