sunlight carried blessing。 And I answered�察 �It shall be as you have said。; 

Now he is dead。 

     In   Summer   and   in   Winter   I   shall   walk   Up   and   down   The   patterned 

garden´paths   In   my  stiff�察  �brocaded   gown。 The   squills   and   daffodils   Will 

give place to pillared roses�察�and to asters�察�and to snow。 I shall go Up and 

down�察    �In   my   gown。    Gorgeously      arrayed�察   �Boned     and   stayed。   And    the 

softness of my body will be guarded from embrace By each button�察�hook�察�

and   lace。   For   the   man   who   should   loose   me   is   dead�察  �Fighting   with   the 

Duke   in   Flanders�察  �In   a   pattern   called   a   war。   Christ� �What   are   patterns

     How      fresh   the   Dartle's   little  waves     that  day�     �A    steely   silver�察�

waves   with   shifts     And   spots   of   whitest   fire�察  �hard   like   gems      Cut 

from the midnight moon they were�察�and sharp                  As wind through leafless 

stems。 The   Lady  Eunice   walked between the drifts   Of   blooming   cherry´ 

trees�察�and watched the rifts             Of clouds drawn through the river's azure 

warp。 

                                               II 

     Her   little   feet   tapped   softly   down   the   path。 Her   soul   was   listless�察�

even   the   morning   breeze   Fluttering   the   trees   and   strewing   a   light   swath 

Of fallen petals on the grass�察�could please Her not at all。               She brushed a 

hair aside     With a swift move�察�and a half´angry frown。                    She stopped 

to pull a daffodil or two�察      �And held them to her gown To test the colours�察�

put   them   at   her   side�察  �Then   at   her   breast�察  �then   loosened   them   and   tried 

Some new arrangement�察�but it would not do。 

                                               III 

     A lady in a Manor´house�察�alone�察           �Whose husband is in Flanders with 

the Duke Of Marlborough and Prince Eugene�察�she's grown                     Too apathetic 

even   to   rebuke   Her   idleness。    What   is   she   on   this   Earth�拭 �No   woman 

surely�察�since she neither can             Be wed nor single�察�must not let her mind 

Build thoughts upon a man Except for hers。                Indeed that were no dearth 

Were   her   Lord   here�察  �for   well   she   knew   his   worth�察      �And   when   she 

thought of him her eyes were kind。 

                                               IV 

     Too lately  wed   to have   forgot   the   wooing。       Too   unaccustomed   as   a 

bride to feel Other than strange delight at her wife's doing。                Even at the 

thought a gentle blush would steal Over her face�察�and then her lips would 

frame     Some   little   word   of   loving�察  �and   her   eyes       Would   brim   and 

spill their tears�察�when all they saw         Was the bright sun�察�slantwise Through 

burgeoning trees�察�and all the morning's flame Burning and quivering round 

her。    With quick shame             She shut her heart and bent before the law。

     He was a soldier�察�she was proud of that。             This was his house and she 

would keep it well。 His honour was in fighting�察�hers in what                 He'd left her 

here    in  charge    of。  Then     a  spell  Of   conscience     sent  her   through    the 

orchard spying       Upon the gardeners。         Were their tools about�拭             �Were

any branches   broken�拭       �Had   the weeds       Been   duly  taken out   Under the 

'spaliered pears�察�and were these lying Nailed snug against the sunny bricks 

and drying           Their leaves and satisfying all their needs�拭�

                                              VI 

     She picked a stone up with a little pout�察          �Stones looked so ill in well´ 

kept flower´borders。 Where should she put it�拭            �All the paths about       Were 

strewn with fair�察�red gravel by her orders。 No stone could mar their sifted 

smoothness。       So    She hurried to the river。        At the edge           She stood 

a   moment      charmed     by  the   swift   blue   Beyond      the   river  sedge。   She 

watched it curdling�察�crinkling�察�and the snow Purfled upon its wave´tops。 

Then�察 �Hullo�察          �My Beauty�察�gently�察�or you'll wriggle through。; 

                                              VII 

     The    Lady    Eunice    caught    a  willow     spray    To    save   herself   from 

tumbling in the shallows Which rippled to her feet。                Then straight away 

She peered down stream among the budding sallows。 A youth in leather 

breeches   and   a   shirt   Of   finest   broidered    lawn   lay   out   upon        An 

overhanging bole and deftly swayed              A well´hooked fish which shone In 

the   pale   lemon   sunshine   like   a   spurt   Of   silver�察  �bowed   and   damascened�察�

and girt         With crimson spots and moons which waned and played。 

                                             VIII 

     The fish hung circled for a  moment�察�ringed               And bright�察�then   flung 

itself out�察�a thin blade Of spotted lightning�察�and its tail was winged               With 

chipped and sparkled sunshine。            And the shade Broke up and splintered 

into    shafts   of  light   Wheeling       about   the   fish�察 �who    churned    the   air 

And     made    the  fish´line   hum�察   �and   bent  the   rod   Almost     to  snapping。 

Care The young man took against the twigs�察�with slight�察�Deft movements 

he kept fish and line in tight            Obedience to his will with every prod。 

                                              IX 

     He   lay   there�察  �and   the   fish   hung   just   beyond。 He   seemed   uncertain 

what   more   he   should   do。   He   drew   back�察  �pulled   the   rod   to   correspond�察�

Tossed   it   and   caught   it�察  �every  time   he   threw�察  �He   caught   it   nearer   to   the 

point。     At    last  The     fish  was    near   enough     to  touch。    He     paused。 

Eunice     knew     well  the   craft     ;What's     got  the   thing� ─   �She    cried。 

;What can have caused  Where is his net�拭                �The moment will be past。

The   fish   will   wriggle  free。;   She   stopped    aghast。        He   turned    and 

bowed。     One arm was in a sling。 

                                             X 

     The broad�察�black ribbon she had thought his basket             Must hang from�察�

held   instead   a   useless   arm。   ;I   do   not   wonder�察  �Madam�察  �that   you   ask   it。; 

He smiled�察�for she had spoke aloud。          ;The charm Of trout fishing is in my 

eyes    enhanced      When      you   must    play  your    fish  on   land   as  well。; 

;How will you take him�拭─�Eunice asked。              ;In truth    I really cannot tell。 

'Twas stupid of me�察�but it simply chanced I never thought of that until he 

glanced         Into the branches。      'Tis a bit uncouth。; 

                                             XI 

    He watched the fish against the blowing sky�察           �Writhing and glittering�察�

pulling at the line。 ;The hook is fast�察�I might just let him die�察─        �He mused。 

;But that would jar against your fine Sense of true sportsmanship�察�I know 

it would�察─    �Cried Eunice。      ;Let me do it。;     Swift and light          She ran 

towards him。      ;It is so long now       Since I have felt a bite�察�I lost all heart 

for everything。;      She stood�察�Supple and strong�察�beside him�察�and her blood 

Tingled her lissom body to a glow。 

                                            XII 

     She   quickly  seized   the   fish   and   with   a   stone Ended   its   flurry�察  �then 

removed the hook�察�Untied the fly with well´poised fingers。               Done�察    �She 

asked him where he kept his fishing´book。 He pointed to a coat flung on 

the    ground。      She    searched     the   pockets�察   �found    a  shagreen     case�察�

Replaced the fly�察�noticed a golden stamp            Filling the middle space。 Two 

letters   half   rubbed   out   were   there�察  �and   round   About   them   gay   rococo 

flowers wound            And tossed a spray of roses to the clamp。 

                                            XIII 

     The Lady Eunice puzzled over these。           ;G。 D。; the young man gravely 

said。    ;My name Is Gervase Deane。           Your servant�察�if you please。;       ;Oh�察�

Sir�察�indeed I know you�察�for your fame For exploits in the field has reached 

my   ears。    I   did   not   know   you   wounded   and   returned。;        ;But   just 

come back�察�Madam。          A silly prick      To gain me such unearned Holiday 

making。     And you�察�it appears�察�Must be Sir Everard's lady。            And my fears 

At being caught a´trespassing were quick。;

    He looked so rueful that she laughed out loud。           ;You are forgiven�察�Mr。 

Deane。     Even   more�察  �I   offer   you   the   fishing�察  �and   am   proud That   you 

should find it pleasant from this shore。 Nobody fishes now�察�my husband 

used    To angle daily�察�and I too with him。             He loved the spot
