Thomas Wentworth Higginson, John Greenleaf Whittier, Chapter 11: early loves and love poetry (search)
he Independent in Dec. 20, 1877, with this prose letter accompanying-- I send, in compliance with the wish of Mr. Bowen and thyself, a ballad upon which, though not long, I have bestowed a good deal of labour. It is not exactly a Quakerly piece, nor is it didactic, and it has no moral that I know of. But it is, I think, natural, simple, and not unpoetical. Here is the ballad with its Elizabethan flavour: a ballad written at nearly three-score-and-ten, upon a day's notice:-- The Henchman My lady walks her morning round, My lady's page her fleet greyhound; My lady's hair the fond winds stir And all the birds make songs for her. Her thrushes sing in Rathburn bowers, And Rathburn's side is gay with flowers; But ne'er like hers, in flower or bird, Was beauty seen or music heard. The distance of the stars is hers; The least of all her worshippers, The dust beneath her dainty heel, She knows not that I see or feel. O proud and calm! she cannot know Where'er she goes with her
