Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love
Now all his mind was torn with love of her,
Yet from that knowledge he must screen his wife.
He could not be that true heart's murderer,
Whose love for him transcended love of life.
If she once read his soul's sad register,
Not long had he bemoan'd the living strife!
Her heart was cast in such heroic mould,
In martyrdom her passing bell had toll'd.
