I see thee once again athwart the mist Of Time, and past the wane of many moons Not changed, with still a change—the same, I wist, Yet not—as purest daylight’s change from noon. ΙΙ I then beheld thee with thy tresses rolled In darkling curls and masses long adown : A child thou wert, in maiden’s youthful mould, \Vith childhood‘s pensive magic round thee thrown. 231

So, to this dream, this dream, I give Again the pulsing life I live: The faded sunset thrills the sweet Core of my soul ;—ah! nimble feet Grown old!

…ho inexplicably claimed to be MacGregor of Glenstrae. The boy's attitude to his parents is one of the most remarkable facts of his early life.
