And through the tempest bravely Jane Conquest fought her way, By snowy deep And slippery steep. To where her duty lay. And she journeyed onward, breathless. And weary, and sore, and faint, 86 THREADS OF GOLD Yet forward pressed With the strength and the zest And the ardor of a saint. Silent, and weird, and lonely. Amid its countless graves, Stood the old gray church On its tall rock perch, Secure from the sea and its waves ; And beneath its sacred shadow Lay the hamlet, safe and still, For howe...ver the sea And the wind might be, There was quiet under the hill. Jane Conquest reached the church-yard. And stood by the old church door ; But the oak was tough, And had bolts enough, And her strength was frail and poor.

And she wrought with an earnest will, And the clamorous bell BITS OF THINGS 87 Spoke out right well To the hamlet under the hill.
