THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 86 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: DAY AFTER DAY WENT BY, AND STILL HE FED
Last Line: AM I NOT SHAMED—THUS LONG TO BE DENIED?'
Subject(s): GRIEF; SORROW; SADNESS;

Day after day went by, and still he fed
On his own thought, and pined, and grieved the more.
And she was told how all his journeyings led
Thro' that lone forest to the hermit's door.
He could not so lament his old friend dead?
And over this new wonder 'gan she pore.
Till angerly the woman in her cried,
'Am I not shamed—thus long to be denied?'
