SOFT fell the twilight from the summer sky, And gray the garden grew; Alone we thought, we wanderod - you and I- Yet all the while no word of him we spake, Through all our talk a tender tremor ran, Each word of yours I counted even as gold And twice and thrice the precious sum I told, - THE SENATORS OF TREVES. BECAUSE the Goths are nigh, And Cæsar's help is late, The Caesar's throne may fall, To reign within the blackened wail, Our sons, though weak of hand, Shall conquer in their thrall. For they shall bind on great and small Words in a bitter band. Our daughters, in their shame, Shall stoop to harsh behest; Till shame, and doubt, and care, Shall teach a foe too proud to spare They shall be hopeless, and not dare Like us whose hair grew white For Cæsar chid us back from fight It shall be said that some Out of the listless mass," Whose hearts were cold, whose arms were numb, Who were cut down like grass, Looked full in Time's dim glass, And drank ere they were dumb, To all the woe that is to come, To all that is to pass. For time will make a prey Of bitter fruit he bore, That he may bear another day We pass, but we adore What will not pass away, Cæsar or Christ shall be that toy Of Rome for evermore. Since what we have defied Is still an empty show, 'Tis well that other eyes abide Its bloodier overthrow. Hark! 'tis the shout we know, And they are just outside; But still the western gates stand wide For all who care to go; We eye the battle line, We list the battle din, We have watched long in victory's shrine, Her feast will soon begin. Perhaps she counts it sin Because her marbles shine With nothing redder yet than wine — Let other revellers in. L'ENVOI. At Treves they sang this song As other Goths may come ere long, Cornhill Magazine. |
