pmost bough,A-top on the topmost twig—which the pluckers forgot somehow—Forgot it net, nay, but got it not, for none could get it till now. with I loved tlee, Atthis, long agowith The moon has set, and the Pleiades; it is midnight, the time is goingby, and I sleep alone. Yes, it was no less a presence than Sapphos that had stepped inamongst us at the corner of New Oxford Street. Visibly it hadbeen a little black-bearded bookman, rather French in appearance,possibly a hard-worked teacher of languages—but actually it hadbeen Sappho. So strange are the contrasts of the modern world,so strange the fate of beautiful words. Two thousand fivehundred years ! So far away from us was the voice that hadsuddenly called to us, a lovely apparition of sound, as we trundleddustily from Oxford Circus to the Bank. The moon has set, and the Pleiades ; it is midnight, the timeis going by, and I sleep alone, I murmured, as the conductordropped me at Chancery Lane. A Shepherd Boy By E. Philip Pimlott
