40 XXXI.
SOUTHWARD beside the Rhone in spring we sped, The river, turbulent and swollen, fed By melting snows from hills to left and right. Far off rose one indomitable height Ice crowned, but winter s mastery was dead, And lusty breezes from the sea had bred New leaves and blossoms by the river bed.
And gay we journeyed, gladdened by the sight, Southward beside the Rhone.
Behind, the river dwindled to a thread. The sunset stained its yellow waters red ; The hills were touched with an unearthly... light ; And still we sped beneath the coming night, With hearts and faces toward the sea ahead, Southward beside the Rhone.
XXXII.
BEHIND us faint and fainter grows the shore That was the whole of life to us of late. The sky is blue, and blue the waves that roar And beckon us with laughter where they wait.
The breezes freshen to felicitate Our outward passage to the sunlit sea, For we are going home triumphantly !
Yet, as the prow slips sweetly through the tide, We check our eagerness to turn aside A moment for one half regretful glance One moment of affection and of pride : The time has come to bid farewell to France.
