And there against the furthest wall,

Where the black shade was dense and deep,

He found a mean and meager stall,

But there when the weak light did fall,

He found a little lad asleep.

He lifted up his childish head,

And smiled serenely at the light,

"And have you found him, then," he said,

"My brother who I thought was dead,

I lost him in the crowd last night.
