Was grasped — when he expressed his wrath In words which burned within my brain. Words which my tongue would not repeat ; Then harshly dragged me back again. And firmly bound my hands and feet. "You'll not escape me now," said he, ''Hence, to the camp I'll make you go ; And the vain dream that you are free You'll find will only end in woe." 83 I did not venture to reply — Felt sure no human heart was near, To breathe, for my sad fate, a sigh, Or mingle with my own a tear ; Save Mrs. Marks, and ...though she pled My cause, and begged that I might stay ; Reproaches fell upon her head. And rudely she was thrust away. Vain all her efforts to assuage — Her husband's anger spurned control, Fed by intoxication's rage. Left not a vestige of the soul. Dimly the morning's twilight chill. Crept 'round us as we passed the town; Clouds hid the summits of each hill. And swaying snow flakes circled down. My fetters had been laid aside. And mounted with that drunken guard, To Mrs. Marks was e'en denied One word, her kindness to reward.
