ON RECEIVING NEWS OF THE CONDEMNATION OF DREYFUS.
Europe aghast! a wide world filled with scorn For foulest play — to see a nation shorn Of every principle of right and truth, Swayed by false council, void of shamo or ruth For blighted innocence, or man forlorn. Oh, hurely, never since the primal morn, "When Sin and Sorrow entered Eden's gate, And wrought a world's unhappy fate, Was mar. so miserable of woman born. Corrupted France! thine eagles, flyiag, flee, The while a ghostly pennon droops in air, Displaying " Dreyfus, doom, d«epair " ; In dust see Tricolor and Fleur-de-lis For ever lie — till tliou let Dreyfus free! —JOYCE JOCELYN.
