"Guilty!" is the fatal uttered doom,—
For a moment o'er the brothers' noble faces
Came a shadow sad to see,
Then silently they rose up in their places,
And embraced each other fervently.
Oh! the rudest heart might tremble at such sorrow,
The rudest cheek might blanch at such a scene;
Twice the judge essayed to speak the word—
to-morrow—
Twice faltered, as a woman he had been.
