He noted not Winona’s presence there;

From his disdainful lips the thin blue smoke

From time to time in little spirals broke,

Floating like languid sneers upon the air,

And settling round him in a veil of blue

So sinister to her disordered view,

That she arose and quickly stole away.

She shunned him more than ever from that day,

And never more unmoved could she behold

That countenance inscrutable and cold.
