THE EMBROIDERER.
IV.
To thy heart let them enter!—’mid care and ’mid toil
Hath its innermost centre one spot without soil—
Where the cold world is measured by truth not its own,
And my image is treasured—loved—loving and lone!
Though life have encrusted its rust on the shrine,
That heart may be trusted—I know it by mine!
