CHAPTER XX.


THE SICK-ROOM.


'Tis midnight, and a starry shower
Weeps its bright tears o'er life and flower;
Sweet, silent, beautiful the night,
Sufficing for her own delight.
But other lights than sky and star,
From yonder casement gleam afar;
The lamp subdued to the heart's gloom
Of suffering, and of sorrow's room.



Blanchard’s title is:

THE SICK ROOM


Adapted from The Queen of Cyprus in The Golden Violet
