Alas! vows are his after sign!-
We prop the tree in its decline-
The ghosts that haunt a parting hour,
With all of grief, and nought of power;
A chain half sunder'd in the making,-
The plighted vow's already breaking. (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

Alas! vows are his after sign!- We prop the tree in its decline- The ghosts that haunt a parting hour, With all of grief, and nought of power; A chain half sunder'd in the making,- The plighted vow's already breaking.
