Poetical Fragments from Ethel Churchill Volume I/A Noble Lady
CHAPTER VIII.
ARRIVED AT HOME.
A pale and stately lady, with a brow
That might have well beseemed a Roman dame,
Cornelia, ere her glorious children died;
Or that imperial mother, who beheld
Her son forgive his country at her word.
Yet there was trouble written on her face;
The past had left its darkness.
