IN THE MILE END ROAD by AMY LEVY

First Line: HOW LIKE HER! BUT 'TIS SHE HERSELF
Last Line: MY ONLY LOVE WAS DEAD.
Subject(s): LONDON;

How like her! But 'tis she herself,
Comes up the crowded street,
How little did I think, the morn,
My only love to meet!

Who else that motion and that mien?
Whose else that airy tread?
For one strange moment I forgot
My only love was dead.
