Passing, I saw her as she stood beside

A lonely stream between two barren wolds;

Her loose vest hung in rudely-gathered folds

On her swart bosom, which in maiden pride

Pillowed a string of pearls; among her hair

Twined the light blue bell and the stonecrop gay;

And not far thence the small encampment lay,

Curling its wreathèd smoke into the air.

She seemed a child of some sun-favoured clime;

So still, so habited to warmth and rest;

And in my wayward musings on past time,

When my thought fills with treasured memories,

That image nearest borders on the blest

Creations of pure art that never dies.

Dean Alford.
