Once. when winter blasts were driving
Driving wild across the moor,
And the world was vainly striving
Striving thus ioreyermore,-
To my scant aud naked cottage,
CraNled a serpent, weak 1nd ialA'
PITY once became my master
And listened TO his plaint
Yursed well the hapless stranger,
Brake my bread aud poured ny "Ine'
On nv breast he rested gently
A gave a Brother Sign.
Warmed 10 life, aud strength and vigor
was my Guest without hearth
Thrice he stung me as he rested,
Stung me in a vital part
From my breast flung the viper
Cpd the door as out be passed
With a smile OF savageJoy,
Look OF scorning on me cast.
Painting pilgrims to my cottage
Dali, come aui ask for Rest
But think me OF the serpent
And denT them entrance, lest
Like their brother who 90 s,ung me
For clepe them ather-son')
They in turn should fall upon me
Even u The latter one.
