A fragmentary Victorian poem tale contrasts a printer’s devil with a girl Evelyn Hopet. The speaker laments lost love, weaving memory with morbid imagery. A hidden secret and a vow to keep a leaf as a keepsake punctuate the melodic verses.
The narrator recalls a sunlit summer day by a brook where he sees a young woman bathing in a sylvan grotto. He confesses love at first sight, attempts courtship, and flees when exposed to mockery, promising to remain single. He notes the irony of never angling again and reflecting on marriage and happiness as a result of a fateful, if whimsical, encounter.
