HE deemed it but a passing thought
That brought her pleading face to him,
When, wrestling all the night, he sought
To overthrow the Tempter grim.
Nor, when he conquered, did he dream
That, o'er the night-steeped ocean's length,
She knew, — and with her love supreme
She prayed that God might give him strength.
