{{Style P-Poem|poem=At night-fall, coming through the wood.
: We reached a hill-top’s gloomy brow,
Where one unpainted cottage stood,
: Neglected, dark, and low.
 
No lamp announced a living soul;
: The chimney’s blue, reluctant thread
Alone betrayed a burning coal
: Of life where all seemed dead.
 
Until, observing curiously,
: And gazing back as on we went,
One little pale face we could see
: Close to the window bent.
 
When late we reached the village street.
: Cheerful and twinkling here and there,
The house-dog ran to lick our feet—
: Sweet was the household air!
 
Yet in my mind I saw all night
: That child’s face watching by the pane,
And passed once more that weary way,
: And lingered there again.
 
At dawn I rose, and walking forth,
: Met one who toiled upon the road,
Morning or evening nothing loath
: With talk to ease time’s load.
 
He knew the young man once, he said,
: Who brought his wife home to that farm ;
Now all his decency is dead,
: And devils round him swarm.
 
For he would drink when morning came,
: And drink before the noon was past,
And afternoons were all the same,
: Long as his means would last.
 
Master of numerous herds was he;
: All gone, his endless thirst to feed.
His wife—ah! weary days had she,
: And bitter grew her need.
 
Now she will have no trouble more ;
: Her griefs have all been laid to sleep ;
But devils round his chamber floor
: Their endless dances keep.
 
He hardly lifts his heavy head ;
: He lies in wretchedness all day ;
And when the night comes, it is said,
: Begins the devils’ play.
 
“Were there no children?” I inquired,
: And shuddered as I spoke the words,
While two young maidens, health-inspired,
: Went singing by like birds.
 
Ah, yes! Alas! one little girl.
: I wonder where the child is now ?
He, drowned in such a dreadful whirl,
: Can not much further go.
 
The morning sun was brave and gay,
: And birds were filling earth with song.
While still my heart repassed that way,
: That rocky hill of wrong.
 
Still sits the child beside the pane,
: And gazes on the clouded sky ;
Her solitude is mine again,
: And mine her agony.
