THE FALCON AND DOVE.
" Round she flitted, moaning ever : Who of earth can sum thy loss, If, when soul from body sever, Thine yon fatal threshold cross ?
" Now his promise to the stranger, When he paltered at his side, Woke the sufferer to the danger By these awful words implied ; And he cried with wild endearment : Hear me ! save me, sexton ! hear ! Fold me in my ready cerement, Lay me on my waiting bier !
* O er the dreadful threshold bear me Forth beneath the blessed sky ; Let not oh, for mer...cy, spare me ! Life and soul together die !
" Cried the ruffian murderer : " Never !
Hush thy mongrel, maundering breath ! May thy life and soul forever Perish utterly in death !
" Backward on his couch astounded, Fell the child in mortal fear ; As if breaking heart-strings sounded Knell-like in his dying ear.
THE FALCON AND DOVE. 135 " Here my waiting pages entered ; And, despite threats, curses wild, All our fondest cares we centered On the friendless, hopeless child.
" Tenderly we raised and laid him In his coffin on the bier, Tenderly we thence conveyed him To the green lawn smiling near.
