Then up came darker clouds of sorrow.
She softly said. "We have no bread,
r. No wood to keep the fire burning"
The child was i'll; the winds so chill
Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning
But men well fed and warmly clad,
And ladies robed in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
10 them for pity or compassion.
That long night fed and then the light
Of rosy day, in beauty shining,
Set dome and spire and roof on fire,
And shone on one beyond repining.
Asleep-alone-as cold as stone,
Where no dear parent sought her;
In winding-sheet of snow and sleet.
Was found the drunkard's lifeless daugh
