"Then shouted loudly, till the silent airRous'd like a frighten'd bird, and on its wingsCaught up his cry and bore it to the farm. There Malcolm, leaping from his noontide sleep, Upstarted as at midnight, crying out, "She shall not wed him--rest you, wife, in peace!'They found him, Alfred, haggard-ey'd and faint, But holding Katie ever towards the sun, Unhurt, and waking in the fervent heat. And now it came that Alfred being sickOf his sharp hurts and tended by them both, With what was like to ...love, being born of thanks, Had choice of hours most politic to woo, And used his deed as one might use the sun, To ripen unmellow'd fruit; and from the coreOf Katie's gratitude hop'd yet to nurseA flow'r all to his liking--Katie's love. But Katie's mind was like the plain, broad shieldOf a table di'mond, nor had a score of sides;And in its shield, so precious and so plain, Was cut, thro' all its clear depths--Max's name!And so she said him "Nay" at last, in wordsOf such true sounding silver, that he knewHe might not win her at the present hour, But smil'd and thought--"I go, and come again!"Then shall we see.
