flame Thy Saints have known�察�Kindle�察�oh Lord�察�in me�察�Thou above all the 

rest for ever�察�And all the rest in Thee。; 

     The blessing fell upon her soul�察�Her angel by her side Knew that the 

hour   of   peace   was   come�察  �Her   soul   was   purified�此�The   shadows   fell   from 

roof and arch�察�Dim was the incensed air ´ But Peace went with her as she 

left The sacred Presence there� �

         VERSE�此                    �THE WAYSIDE INN 



     A  little   past   the   village   The   Inn   stood�察  �low   and   white�察  �Green   shady 

trees behind it�察�And an orchard on the right�察�Where over the green paling 

The red´cheeked apples hung�察�As if to watch how wearily The sign´board 

creaked and swung。 

     The heavy´laden branches�察�Over the road hung low�察�Reflected fruit or 

blossom   From   the   wayside   well   below�察  �Where   children�察  �drawing   water�察�

Looked   up   and   paused   to   see�察�Amid   the   apple´branches�察�A  purple   Judas 

Tree。 

     The road stretched winding onward For many a weary mile ´ So dusty 

foot´sore   wanderers   Would   pause   and   rest   awhile�察  �And   panting   horses 

halted�察  �And   travellers   loved   to   tell   The   quiet   of   the   wayside   inn�察  �The 

orchard�察�and the well。 

     Here Maurice dwelt�察�and often The sunburnt boy would stand Gazing 

upon   the   distance�察�And   shading   with   his   hand   His   eyes�察  �while   watching 

vainly For travellers�察�who might need His aid to loose the bridle�察�And tend 

the weary steed。 

     And once ��the boy remembered That morning�察�many a day ´ The dew 

lay   on   the   hawthorn�察  �The   bird   sang   on   the   spray�� A  train   of   horsemen�察�

nobler   Than   he   had   seen   before�察  �Up   from   the   distance   galloped�察  �And 

halted at the door。 

     Upon a milk´white pony�察�Fit for a faery queen�察�Was the loveliest little 

damsel His eyes had ever seen�此�A serving´man was holding The leading 

rein�察�to guide The pony and its mistress�察�Who cantered by his side。 

     Her   sunny   ringlets   round   her   A   golden   cloud   had   made�察  �While   her 

large hat was keeping Her calm blue eyes in shade�察�One hand held fast the 

silken reins To keep her steed in check�察�The other pulled his tangled mane�察�

Or stroked his glossy neck。 

     And   as   the   boy   brought   water�察  �And   loosed   the   rein�察  �he   heard   The 

sweetest voice that thanked him In one low gentle word�察�She turned her 

blue   eyes   from   him�察  �Looked   up�察  �and   smiled   to   see   The   hanging   purple 

blossoms Upon the Judas Tree�察�



                                                                                          64

     And   showed   it   with   a   gesture�察 �Half   pleading�察 �half command�察�Till   he 

broke the fairest blossom�察�And laid it in her hand�察�And she tied it to her 

saddle With a ribbon from her hair�察�While her happy laugh rang gaily�察�Like 

silver on the air。 

     But the champing steeds were rested ´ The horsemen now spurred on�察�

And down the dusty highway They vanished and were gone。 Years passed�察�

and many a traveller Paused at the old inn´door�察�But the little milk´white 

pony And the child returned no more。 

     Years passed�察�the apple´branches A deeper shadow shed�察�And many a 

time   the   Judas   Tree�察  �Blossom  and   leaf�察  �lay  dead�察  �When   on   the   loitering 

western breeze Came the bells' merry sound�察�And flowery arches rose�察�and 

flags And banners waved around。 

     Maurice      stood   there   expectant�此   �The   bridal   train  would    stay   Some 

moments at the inn´door�察�The eager watchers say�察�They comethe cloud 

of dust draws near ´ 'Mid all the state and pride�察�He only sees the golden 

hair And blue eyes of the bride。 

     The same�察�yet�察�ah�察�still fairer�察�He knew the face once more That bent 

above   the   pony's   neck Years   past   at   that   inn´door�此  �Her   shy   and   smiling 

eyes   looked   round�察  �Unconscious   of   the   place�察  �Unconscious   of   the   eager 

gaze He fixed upon her face。 

     He   plucked   a   blossom   from   the   tree   ´   The   Judas   Treeand   cast   Its 

purple fragrance towards the Bride�察�A message from the Past。 The signal 

came�察  �the   horses   plunged   ´   Once   more   she   smiled   around�此  �The   purple 

blossom in the dust Lay trampled on the ground。 

     Again the slow years fleeted�察�Their passage only known By the height 

the   Passion´flower   Around   the   porch   had   grown�察  �And   many   a   passing 

traveller Paused at the old inn´door�察�But the bride�察�so fair and blooming�察�

The bride returned no more。 

     One   winter   morning�察  �Maurice�察�Watching   the  branches   bare�察  �Rustling 

and waving dimly In the grey and misty air�察�Saw blazoned on a carriage 

Once more the well´known shield�察�The stars and azure fleurs´de´lis Upon 

a silver field。 

     He lookedwas that pale woman�察�So grave�察�so worn�察�so sad�察�The child�察�

once   young   and   smiling�察 �The   bride�察  �once   fair   and   glad�拭�What   grief   had

dimmed   that   glory�察  �And   brought   that   dark   eclipse   Upon   her   blue   eyes' 

radiance�察�And paled those trembling lips�拭�

     What memory of past sorrow�察�What stab of present pain�察�Brought that 

deep look of anguish�察�That watched the dismal rain�察�That watched ��with 

the   absent    spirit   That  looks�察  �yet   does   not   see��  The   dead    and   leafless 

branches Upon the Judas Tree。 

     The   slow   dark   months   crept   onward   Upon   their   icy   way�察  �'Till April 

broke     in  showers     And    Spring    smiled    forth   in  May�察   �Upon     the  apple´ 

blossoms The sun shone bright again�察�When slowly up the highway Came 

a long funeral train。 

     The bells toiled slowly�察�sadly�察�For a noble spirit fled�察�Slowly�察�in pomp 

and honour�察�They bore the quiet dead。 Upon a black´plumed charger One 

rode�察  �who held   a   shield�察�Where stars   and   azure   fleurs´de´lis  Shone on   a 

silver field。 

     'Mid   all   that   homage   given   To   a   fluttering   heart   at   rest�察  �Perhaps   an 

honest   sorrow   Dwelt   only   in   one   breast。   One   by   the   inn´door   standing 

Watched       with   fast´dropping      tears   The    long   procession     passing�察   �And 

thought of bygone years�察�

     The   boyish�察�silent homage To   child   and bride unknown�察�The   pitying 

tender sorrow   Kept in   his   heart   alone�察  �Now  laid   upon   the  coffin With   a 

purple flower�察�might be Told to the cold dead sleeper�察�The rest could only 

see A fragrant purple blossom�察�Plucked from a Judas Tree。

    You wonder that my tears should flow In listening to that simple strain�察�

That those unskilful sounds should fill My soul with joy and pain ´ How 

can you tell what thoughts it stirs Within my heart again�拭�

    You wonder why that common phrase�察�So all unmeaning to your ear�察�

Should stay me in my merriest mood�察�And thrill my soul to hear ´ How can 

you tell what ancient charm Has made me hold it dear�拭�

    You marvel that I turn away From all those flowers so fair and bright�察�

And gaze at this poor herb�察�till tears Arise and dim my sight ´ You cannot 

tell how every leaf Breathes of a past delight。
