The maid of Redenfayn, an allegory of two worlds, in three books: I The book of loves and dreams . ierce pang stung; my eyes I oped, A serpent black and green did wrap me round. And fixed on mine his fascinating eyes, The while his teeth and tongue fed on my heart. I shrieked and swooned ; the shriek quick brought him back. Thourt false! cried he, and this our love shall end. With these death-words he stabbed me to the heart. Nought was the same, and wholly changed the world,— And wholly changed was I: gone was all love; Despair was in my heart, and all in all. As with a fearful spell my soul

Thourt false! cried he, and this our love shall end. With these death-words he stabbed me to the heart. Nought was the same, and wholly changed the world,— And wholly changed was I: gone was all love; Despair was in my heart, and all in all. As with a fearful spell my soul was bound; All blank was all the past: think I could not; Wandering in labyrinths my reason seemed; And on my brain its black pall darkness spread. Shes crazed! exclaimed a sister dearly loved. I knew twas true, and down I laid, and died — If dying be to go to happiness; For ever since all happy have I been — One round of sweet delights, and full content. Each wish while wishing is in full fulfilled, And every hope while hoping realized. No time, no space, no bar to anything. i\ i I I II.
