The Ringlet
[Published in Enoch Arden volume (London: E. Moxon & Co, 1864) and never reprinted.]
'Your ringlets, your ringlets,
That look so golden-gay,
If you will give me one, but one,
To kiss it night and day,
Then never chilling touch of Time
Will turn it silver-gray;
And then shall I know it is all true gold
To flame
