Página 277 - I do remember well the hour which burst My spirit's sleep : a fresh May-dawn it was, When I walked forth upon the glittering grass, And wept, I knew not why ; until there rose From the near schoolroom, voices, that, alas !

When hearts, whose truth was proven, Like thine, are laid in earth, There should a wreath be woven To tell the world their worth.
