THE RING
61
My Mother's diamonds hidden from her there,Like worldly beauties in the Cell, not shownTo dazzle all that see them?
Father.Wait a while.Your Mother and step-mother—Miriam ErneAnd Muriel Erne—the two were cousins—livedWith Muriel's mother on the down, that seesA thousand squares of corn and meadow, farAs the gray deep, a landscape which your eyesHave many a time ranged over when a babe.
Miriam. I climb'd the hill with Hubert yesterday,And from the thousand squares, one silent voiceCame on the wind, and seem'd to say 'Again.'
