But the man saw that there was blood on some of the fragments, and asked: 'Where did you get these from? Whereupon the children grew pale with terror, and the man took them off to the magistrate."

What says the voice its clear lingering anguish? Just the watchman, telling his dateless tale of safety? Just a roadman, flinging to the moon his song? No! 'Tis one deprived, whose lover's heart is weeping. Just his cry: 'How long?"
