Which, with a sudden rising, bears its deep

And savage war-note from us, wafting it

O’er the far hills.

Gon. Alas! this woe must be!

I do not shake my spirit from its height,

So startling it with hope! But the dread hour

Shall be met bravely still. I can keep down

Yet for a little while—and heaven will ask

No more—the passionate workings of my heart

—And thine, Elmina?
