But the list shook in his hand."O wind of twilight, was there no word uttered,

No sound of joy or wail?'A great fight and a good death,' he muttered;'Trust him, he would not fail.'"What of the chamber dark where she was

For whom all life is done?"Within her heart she rocks a dead child, crying'My son, my little son.'"
