Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Natalia’s Resurrection: Sonnet XVI
Work rating: Low

Among the rest (`twas thus his dream went on
 While Adrian slept) in more than courteous mood
 And smiling welcome, fairer scarce was none,
 That noble knight Natalia`s husband stood,
 A gentle man whom of a truth in life,
 Alas for jealous youth and wit too keen!
 Adrian loved little though he loved his wife,
 But now beheld as the most blest of men,--
 Because Natalia was not dead, he thought,
 Seeing him thus unconscious of all grief,--
 And in that cloudless face where pain was not
 Adrian found omen to his soul`s relief,
 And looked beyond if haply he should see
 Her face too following fixed in constancy.
