How soon cease to flow the streamlets of woe, When sipped at their source in a kiss ! "Scarce a fortnight had sped, when I knelt at the bed Of the motherless mountain maid, And I vowed and I swore, as I d done before 1, That she never should be betrayed. "Ah, God ! the fierce flash in my phrenzied braiu, And in my hot blood the thrill ! When the mald ln despair clasped her hands in prayer, And yielded to my will ! THE HOARY OLD HERO OF HELL. 149 ^ The morning came, and the golden sun Hose over ...the mountaiu s crest; When my plighted troth with my uwiul oath Dissolved with the morning mist ! * The maiden was mine my slave ! my toy ! To be caressed or cursed ! And again was I glad to go from bad To worse, and then to worst! " But, in good or evil, a god or devil, Unto the mountain maid, She knelt at the head of my midnight bed And for my welfare prayed. "Ah, God ! to see that woman of worth Devote to me her life ! Had I not burst into being accursed I had worshiped in her a Wife ! u A Wife self sacrificing, fond, To hallow the humblest clod ; And to lift into heaven sinful Man forgiven, With the earthy arms of God !
