Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume III/The Fearful Trust
CHAPTER XXVII.
A DISCOVERY.
It is a fearful trust, the trust of love.
In fear, not hope, should woman's heart receive
A guest so terrible. Ah! never more
Will the young spirit know its joyous hours
Of quiet hopes and innocent delights;
Its childhood is departed.
