ENOCH ARDEN.
Annie—for I am rich and well-to-do.
Now let me put the boy and girl to school:
This is the favour that I came to ask.’
Now let me put the boy and girl to school:
This is the favour that I came to ask.’
Then Annie with her brows against the wall
Answer’d ‘I cannot look you in the face;
I seem so foolish and so broken down.
When you came in my sorrow broke me down;
And now I think your kindness breaks me down;
But Enoch lives; that is borne in on me:
He will repay you: money can be repaid;
Not kindness such as yours.’

And Philip ask’d
‘Then you will let me, Annie?’
‘Then you will let me, Annie?’
There she turn’d,
She rose, and fixt her swimming eyes upon him,
And dwelt a moment on his kindly face,
Then calling down a blessing on his head
