	THE WARNING VOICE.		165
		What was the cause ? what was it gave Such brightness to this scene ? Which made the ware more musical, The landscape more serene ? Not that my heart at once had caught An answering, echoing tone— A feeling more poetical Than it before had known : Nay, but a hand was clasp'd in mine, A heart was beating near, That made this scene of loveliness A robe of splendour wear! An eye was gazing then with mine, Which kindled at the sight; Making the scene more beautiful, More glorious and bright. THE WARNING VOICE. Hark ! a mystic voice is calling Soft and low, And a gloom is round me falling— I must go! I must go in youth's bright morning, When my sky is clear; For this strange, strange voice of warning Now is in my ear.
