| And white ss the winter SHOWS
Suspicious unnamed and nameless
Her passing shadow throws.
Lo! where is a feeble brother.
Borne down in the deadly strife
| That we wage with one another?
| With a stab she seeks his life.
And where one sits lone and lonely,
As the widowed years go by,
| She cometh, but cometh only
| To beguile, and then belle
The fame that virtue prizes.
| The wreath that honor wears,
| She soils with her dark surmises,
/ With her tainted fingers tears.
Then curse me the cruel liar
I Who goeth her evil way,
And curse me the tongue of fire
