TE DRUM. In our village there's cold and there's hunger ; Through the mist the sad morn rises chill ; Tolls the bell — the parishioners calling From afar to the church on the hill ; Austere and severe and commanding Pealed that dull tone thro' the air. I spent in the church that wet morning ; I can never forget the scene there. For there knelt the village hamlet, Young and old in a weeping crowd ; To be saved from the grievous famine The people prayed aloud. Such woe I had seldom witnessed, Suc...h agony of prayer, And unconsciously I murmured, " O God, the people spare ! " FROM NEKRASOF. S3 " Spare their friends, too, in Thy mercy ! Oh, hear our heartfelt cry ! For those who strove to free the serf We lift the prayer on high ; For those who bore the battle's brunt And lived to win the day, For those who've heard the serfs last song, To Thee, O God, we pray. " 54 RHYMES FROM THE RUSSIAN. THE PROPHET. Ah ! tell me not he prudence quite forgot ; That he himself for his own fate's to blame.
