Description

Amy Levy poem imagining a dead beloved walking through Victorian London's Jewish quarter.

Text

HOW like her ! But 'tis she herself,
  Comes up the crowded street,
How little did I think, the morn,
  My only love to meet !

Whose else that motion and that mien? 
  Whose else that airy tread ?
For one strange moment I forgot
  My only love was dead.
