The Water-Demon is avenged at last.


PART III.

She struck but once, no need hath lightning stroke

For second blow to rend the heart of oak,

Nor waited there to see how Gray Cloud died;

Her fury all in that fierce outburst spent,

As from a charnel cave she fled the tent;

The wolfish dog suspiciously outside

Sniffed at her moccasins but let her pass.
