“Pure as th’expanse of heav’n; I thither went
With unexperienced thought, and laid me down
On the green bank, to look into the clear
Smooth lake, that to me seemed another sky.
As I bent down to look, just opposite,

Pleased it returned as soon with answering looks
Of sympathy and love; there I had fixed
Mine eyes till now and pined with vain desire,
Had not a voice thus warned me-”
