would nothing quench that secret fire, Nor yet assuage that hunger of the heart ?
THE PROPHECY OF ST. ORAN. 37 To feel this flagellation of desire, To be so neclr, yet evermore apart, ^ever to clasp this woman as a wife — This was the crowning penance of his life.
XXXIX.
But lo ! one day at dusk they were alone, The rain was beating down on roof and wall.
The round of ekrth with solid rock and stone flad turned phantasmal in its misty pall : rhey were alone, but neither spake a word — !)nly the...ir hearts in throbbing might be heard.
XL, A^ose is that low involuntary cry That like a! flash of lightning shook each frame ^ith thrill electric .' Simultaneously Their yearning lips had sobbed each other's name !
Vith swift instinctive dread they move apart Vhile magnet-like each draws the other's heart.
38 THE PROPHECY OF ST. ORAN.
XLI.
What boots it thus to struggle with his sin, So much more sweet than all his virtues were ?
Like a great flood let all her love roll in.
And his soul stifle mid her golden hair !
