The fatal hour had come at last⁠— + 

She oped her eyes and cried: ’tis he! + 

Alas! for now before her passed + 

The same warm vision constantly; + 

Now all things round about repeat + 

Ceaselessly to the maiden sweet + 

His name: the tenderness of home + 

Tiresome unto her hath become + 

And the kind-hearted servitors: + 

Immersed in melancholy thought, + 

She hears of conversation nought + 

And hated casual visitors, + 

Their coming which no man expects, + 

And stay whose length none recollects. + 
