The marble tablet Annotated

There it stands, though alas, what a little of her
&nbsp Shows in its cold white look!
Not her glance, glide, or smile; not a tittle of her
&nbsp Voice like the purl of a brook;
&nbsp Not her thoughts, that you read like a book.

It may stand for her once in November
&nbsp When first she breathed, witless of all;
Or in heavy years she would remember
&nbsp When circumstance held her in thrall;
&nbsp Or at last, when she answered her call!

Nothing more. The still marble, date-graven,
&nbsp Gives all that it can, tersely lined;
That one has at length found the haven
&nbsp Which every one other will find;
&nbsp With silence on what shone behind.
