Saw the catastrophe, and, straightening back,

Stood up and shook his brows. "Poor soul, poor soul,

Just what I prophesied the end would be!

Ugh—the Red Night-cap!" (as he raised the head)

"This must be what he meant by those strange words

While I was weeding larkspurs, yesterday,

'Angels would take him!' Mad!"

No! sane, I say

Such being the conditions of his life,

Such end of life was not irrational.
