That nobody stood at the back of me；
But I thought once more： “Nay， I’ll not unvision
A shape which， somehow， there may be.”
So I went on softly from the glade，
And left her behind me throwing her shade，
As she were indeed all apparition—
My head unturned lest my dream should fade.
作品赏析
作者将心中的“她”描写得若隐若现，反而增加了“她”的神秘感，“我”也在犹豫，“她”是否存在，却还是不忍探究，怕会打碎这个美丽的梦境。
