from his seat he had fallen, and stretched abroad on the seashore Motionless lay his form, from which the soul had departed. Slowly the priest uplifted the lifeless head, and the maiden Knelt at her father's side, and wailed aloud in her terror. Then in a swoon she sank, and lay with her head on his bosom. Through the long night she lay in deep, oblivious slumber ; And when she woke from the trance, she beheld a multitude near her. Faces of friends she beheld, that were mournfully gazing upon h...er. Pallid, with tearful eyes, and looks of saddest compassion. Still the blaze of the burning village illumined the landscape, Keddened the sky overhead, and gleamed on the faces around her. And like the day of doom it seemed to her wavering senses. Then a familiar voice she heard, as it said to the people, — ' Let us bury him here by the sea. When a happier season Brings us again to our homes from the unknown land of our exile. Then shall his sacred dust be piously laid in the churchyard.' Such were the words of the priest.
