—34— But while she worked, with pain she strove, I saw it in her face, The gerros that in her father throve In her had found a place; She hid her woe and labored on.
Nor yielded to the knife Till every ounce of strength was gone And going was her life.
When on the table she was laid.
With hands across her breast In trust so touchingly she prayed It put me to the test; I swallowed back the rising lump.
My nerves grew firm as steel, My heart subsided from its thump — I was to act not feel.
'Twas ...o'er at last, and a success, From surgeon s point of view.
From Lethe's banks, with small distress, To consciousness she drew; But when all day the sun had blazed.
And night was hot as fire, Collapsed, exhausted, weak and dazed It seemed she must expire.
Up o'er the river rose the moon With face as red as blood; The girl still lay half in a swoon — I prayed as best I could; I prayed that God would send us rain Or just a breath of air; Nor, on my word, prayed I in vain, A cloud arose out there.
