TO A WANDERING FEMALE SINGER.
213
By the low clear silvery gushing
Of its music from thy breast,
By the quivering of its flute-like swell—
A sound of the heart's unrest.
By its fond and plaintive lingering,
On each word of grief so long,
Oh! thou hast loved and suffered much—
I know it by thy song!
