The Shadow on the Stone（2 / 2）

And there was no sound but the fall of a leaf

As a sad response; and to keep down y grief

I would not turn y head to disver

That there was nothgy belief.

Yet I wao look and see

That nobody stood at the back of ;

But I thought once ore：“Nay, Ill not unvision

A shape which, sohow, there ay be.”

So I went on softly fro the gde,

A her behdthrog her shade,

As she were deed all apparition—

My head unturned lest y drea should fade.
