Eyes , calm beside thee , ( Lad y couldst thou know !) May turn away thick with fast-gathering tears : I glance not where all gaze : thrilling and low
Their passionate praises reach thee—my cheek wears Alone no wonder wnen thou passest by ; Thy tremulous lids bent and suffused reply To the irrepressible homage which doth glow On every lip but mine : if in thine ears Their accents linerer—and thou dost recall
Me as I stood , still , guarded , very pale , Beside each votarist whose lighted brow Wore worship like an aureole , * O ' er them all i My beauty , ' thou wiJt murmur , * did prevail Save that one only : '—Lady could ' st thou know ! August 17 , 1834 .

I . To my lone heart , thou wooden Windmill old , A wond ' rous tale tho > u tell ' st of years gone by , When basin-crested Quixote , lean and bold , To mortal combat did thy power defy ; While giants taller t"han the lark on high . My infant couch for ever haunted strong , Which shook with fears of one who knetv not wrong !
II . Eccentric Titan—Pagod of the hill ! Around whose form the congregated roar Of winter ' s blasts quir'd with symphonious spell To woodland echoes ; while from narrow door A mute white dwarf appeor'd in times of yore ; Imaginative childhood own'd thy power , And influences manhood ' s sober hoar .
III . Thou dost remind of terror and of joy When I had passM thy wheels of crushing whirl , And in thy topmost story vievvM from high Thro' tiny window-hole , thy broad arms hurl Deep shadows past rno with loud rushing burl ; And then , when sank the wind and they grew still , To gaze on clover field , and tower and hill !
