It fell in the year of Mutiny,
At darkest of the night,
John Nicholson by Jal'ndhar came,
On his way to Delhi fight.

I cannot tell, of twain beneath this bond,
Which one in grief the other goes beyond,---
Narcissus, who to end the pain he bore

To greet again the rule we knew
Before we took the stream:
Though long we've missed the sight of her,

And we call her, if you please, the bright Medu--sa;
From beneath her bosom bare
To the snakes among her hair...

O Lord our God, we are strangers before Thee, and sojourners, as were
all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is...

Hand from hand was rent;
Here his voice above the roar...
