In many guises didst thou come to me;
I saw thee by the maidens while they danced,
Phaon allured me with a look of thine,
In Anactoria I knew thy grace,
I looked at
Cercolas
and saw thine eyes;
But never wholly, soul and body mine,
Didst thou bid any love me as I loved.

idyls it had seen, where it had wound its way below quaint mill-
house walls choked up with ivy-growth, where the children and
the pigeons paddled with rosy feet upon the resting wheel; of the
weary sighs that had been
breathed
over it beneath the gray old
convents where it heard the miserere steal in with its own ripple,
and looked, itself, a thing so full of leaping joy and dancing life
to the sad eyes of girl-recluses, all these of which it told, the
