A poem narrates a youth’s romance tested by a steadfast maid. The speaker hides to overhear a rival’s pledge, learns of betrayal, and vows not to abandon his memory. The moral warns that maidens, though fair, are seldom true.
In a rural town Ada Sinclair and George Danforth, betrothed amid war, share a deep, devotional bond. He receives a commission, they part with a kiss, and Ada guards a miniature and hair ring as symbols of their vow. Months of letters follow, rumors of battle, and finally news of his death, leaving Ada to endure grief, adopt Ruth, and remain a steady, refined presence while her suitors fade.
