UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA. I. LOVE, THE PILGRIM. VERY day a Pilgrim, blindfold, When the night and morning meet, Entereth the slumbering city, Stealeth down the silent street; Lingereth round some battered doorway, In your blessed dreams, O children, Blindfold is this Pilgrim, Maiden; Pass it to return no more. Let us then with prayers entreat him,— Youth her heart, whose coldness grieves, May one morn by Love be softened; Of your doorways every day. HAMILTON AÏDÉ. THE GUEST. IGHTS Love, the timorous bird, to dwell, While summer smiles, a guest with you? Be wise betimes, and use him well, And he will stay in winter, too : The blue-plumed swallows fly away, The little clay-built house again : THOMAS ASHE. |
