Dolores thinks, as he takes her hand,

And hears all her story, and understands

The cry of her desperate need.

An orange he gives to each weary man,[875]

To freshen the fevered mouth,

Then forth[876] they go down the old sea-wall,

And they hear[877] in the dusk the pickets call,

And the row-boat is moored on the shadowy shore,[878]

The Northern saint can manage an oar,

And the boat glides fast[879] to the south.
