Three stared wild-eyed as at the dead,

The fourth rose up; no word she said—

She motioned to me with her head.

She led me on along the path

To where it crossed a low brown rath,

Then paused, and spake one word—“Soggarth!”

“Soggarth!” The word was like a spell,

Sainted and sweet like some church bell,

Lifting the soul to heaven from hell!

Rough were the stones and cold the ground,
