Description: 'A sudden thought, all sweetness in its depths / And yet perplex'd by some vague doubt that came / Like to a shadow playing in the sun / Entranced her as she stood with poised foot / And downward eyes; a dream of past and future / With music in it from afar now low / And pensive, now with songs and cymbals gay! / What was that thought?'
