TALISMAN.

EDITH PLANTAGENET.

"But as a second time they passed the spot on which he kneeled, one of the white-stolen maidens, as she glided by him, detached from the chaplet which she carried a rose-bud."-Vol. xxxviii. p. 77.

Still distant, slowly moving with her train;

Her robe and tresses floating on the wind,

Like some light figure in a morning cloud."
