Ah, but her soul knows of a life in death! And she shall know it, too, when her shadow turns whiter than snow. For the Temple of Idols has closed its doors at the sound of a voice, and an idol of gilt has turned to flesh and blood.

I-hó!

So shall she know of the life in death when her soul and her body are one.


PASSEUR.

O friends, I've served ye food and bed;

O friends, the mist is rising wet;

Then bide a moment, O my dead,

Where, lonely, I must linger yet!
