THE DEAD WOMAN.
(From the "Triad.") To-day within a scouted room I saw a woman lying dead, They mocked her corpse with snowy bloom Whose life went hungry for the red; Her rebel heart had ceased to stir And hidden 'neath a straight white dress lite Helen-shaped breasts of her Mv burning bonds had ached topn-hs. Now that it's need is over-past, From hands so pah.' and beautiful The v. edding ring was- gone ai l ;L -.-i That marked her e.hnste ami dutind. Death lives • . ■ for any man ;e t-iko Death breaks all bonds . . . l' (! , Death i* hold : I kissed mr for Lew's h.i'lled sake And. for the first time, lound la-reel,;: Xi. b'nrrest.
