To die for what we love Oh there is power	A
In the true heart and pride and joy for this	B
It is to live without the vanish'd light	C
That strength is needed	D

Cos 'rapassa al trapassar d'un Giorno	E
Della vita mortal il fiore e'l verde	F
Tasso	G
	-
ALONG the star lit Seine went music swelling	H
Till the air thrill'd with its exulting mirth	I
Proudly it floated even as if no dwelling	H
For cares or stricken hearts were found on earth	I
And a glad sound the measure lightly beat	J
A happy chime of many dancing feet	J
	-
For in a palace of the land that night	C
Lamps and fresh roses and green leaves were hung	K
And from the painted walls a stream of light	C
On flying forms beneath soft splendour flung	K
But loveliest far amidst the revel's pride	L
Was one the lady from the Danube side	L
	-
Pauline the meekly bright tho' now no more	M
Her clear eye flash'd with youth's all tameless glee	F
Yet something holier than its dayspring wore	M
There in soft rest lay beautiful to see	F
A charm with graver tenderer sweetness fraught	N
The blending of deep love and matron thought	N
	-
Thro' the gay throng she moved serenely fair	O
And such calm joy as fills a moonlight sky	P
Sate on her brow beneath its graceful hair	O
As her young daughter in the dance went by	P
With the fleet step of one that yet hath known	E
Smiles and kind voices in this world alone	E
	-
Lurk'd there no secret boding in her breast	Q
Did no faint whisper warn of evil nigh	P
Such oft awake when most the heart seems blest	Q
Midst the light laughter of festivity	F
Whence come those tones Alas enough we know	G
To mingle fear with all triumphal show	G
	-
Who spoke of evil when young feet were flying	H
In fairy rings around the echoing hall	R
Soft airs thro' braided locks in perfume sighing	H
Glad pulses beating unto music's call	R
Silence the minstrels pause and hark a sound	S
A strange quick rustling which their notes had drown'd	S
	-
And lo a light upon the dancers breaking	H
Not such their clear and silvery lamps had shed	T
From the gay dream of revelry awaking	H
One moment holds them still in breathless dread	T
The wild fierce lustre grows then bursts a cry	P
Fire thro' the hall and round it gathering fly	P
	-
And forth they rush as chased by sword and spear	U
To the green coverts of the garden bowers	V
A gorgeous masque of pageantry and fear	U
Startling the birds and trampling down the flowers	V
While from the dome behind red sparkles driven	E
Pierce the dark stillness of the midnight heaven	E
	-
And where is she Pauline the hurrying throng	H
Have swept her onward as a stormy blast	W
Might sweep some faint o'er wearied bird along	H
Till now the threshold of that death is past	W
And free she stands beneath the starry skies	X
Calling her child but no sweet voice replies	X
	-
'Bertha where art thou Speak oh speak my own '	-
Alas unconscious of her pangs the while	Y
The gentle girl in fear's cold grasp alone	E
Powerless hath sunk within the blazing pile	Y
A young bright form deck'd gloriously for death	Z
With flowers all shrinking from the flame's fierce breath	Z
	-
But oh thy strength deep love there is no power	A
To stay the mother from that rolling grave	A2
Tho' fast on high the fiery volumes tower	A
And forth like banners from each lattice wave	A2
Back back she rushes thro' a host combined	B2
Mighty is anguish with affection twined	B2
	-
And what bold step may follow midst the roar	M
Of the red billows o'er their prey that rise	X
None Courage there stood still and never more	M
Did those fair forms emerge on human eyes	X
Was one brief meeting theirs one wild farewell	C2
And died they heart to heart Oh who can tell	C2
	-
Freshly and cloudlessly the morning broke	H
On that sad palace midst its pleasure shades	D2
Its painted roofs had sunk yet black with smoke	H
And lonely stood its marble colonnades	D2
But yester eve their shafts with wreaths were bound	S
Now lay the scene one shrivell'd scroll around	S
	-
And bore the ruins no recording trace	D2
Of all that woman's heart had dared and done	E
Yes there were gems to mark its mortal place	D2
That forth from dust and ashes dimly shone	E
Those had the mother on her gentle breast	Q
Worn round her child's fair image there at rest	Q
	-
And they were all the tender and the true	E2
Left this alone her sacrifice to prove	F2
Hallowing the spot where mirth once lightly flew	E2
To deep lone chasten'd thoughts of grief and love	G2
Oh we have need of patient faith below	G
To clear away the mysteries of such wo	G
