On the German frontier I lay at the same inn with Gerard. I fancied him. I said, 'Be my comrade. He was loth at first; consented presently. Many a weary league we trode together.

There are added the following lines of her own: "Calm on the bosom of thy God, Fair spirit, rest thee now; E'en while with us thy footsteps trode, His seal was on thy brow. Dust to its narrow home beneath, Soul to its place on high; They that have seen thy look in death, No more may fear to die."
