The crazed one from his load of ill.

The pleading look and wild appeal

Of Zillah could not stay the steel;

She saw him fall, and from his side

The red stream gush in bubbling tide,

Then fell herself, as if the blade

A sheath of her own breast had made;

While fearfully his spouting gore

The white robe reddened that she wore.

Her ear heard not the gurgling sound
