Until at length its flutterings ceased, And fix'd its talons in his breast ! And midst his agony and fear A horrid laugh assail' d his ear ; As if ten thousand fiends were there. To mock his suff'rings and despair ! Napoleon gave a sudden scream. And started from his hideous dream, — While on his forehead damp and cold, Large drops of perspiration roU'd. Trembling he glanced around. As if he decm'd his lamp's dim ray 156 THE HUNDKED DAYS OP NAPOLEON. Some scene of terror would display ; But all... had vanished away, And hush'd was every sound, — Save when the bursting thunder broke, And far its rolling echoes woke. XXIX. But while in revelry and joy The Trench the passing hours employ, Upon Saint Jean's opposing height The British show'd a different sight : — No sound of revelry was there — No boisterous shouts rung through the air ;- But all was still ; no voice was heard, Save when the watchful sentry's word Did to his anxious comrades tell, As each horn- pass'd, that all was well.
