If I could but see the white cap, | |
And the earnest mourner worn to leanness! -- | |
My toiled heart is worn with grief! | |
If I could but see the white [lower] dress! -- | |
My heart is wounded with sadness! | |
I should be inclined to go and live with the wearer! | |
If I could but see the white knee-covers! -- | |
Sorrow is knotted in my heart! | |
I should almost feel as of one soul with the wearer! |
