the amulet.
-
- Your picture smiles as first it smiled;
- The ring you gave is still the same;
- Your letter tells, O changing child!
- No tidings since it came.
-
- Give me an amulet
- That keeps intelligence with you,—
- Red when you love, and rosier red,
- And when you love not, pale and blue.
-
- Alas! that neither bonds nor vows
- Can certify possession;
- Torments me still the fear that love
- Died in its last expression.
