But alone of women of wailing Rome I have no tears to dry;

"Pass to the sea and the Death beyond to the home of the Gods you left for Earth;

Of all the women of Rome to-night, no pride shall equal mine.

A God, the man that leaves me now—but ah! a lover that thought me worth—

The whispered word of a husband true—I thank the Gods that I hold from you

The right that fair Eurydice knew—the love of a man Divine."


A NORTH SEA NOTE
