"We watched her breathing through the night
Her breathing, soft and low,
As in her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So softly moved about,
As we had lent her half our powers,
To eke her living out.
Our weary hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied;
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came,
dim and sad,
A chill with early showers,
Her quiet eye lids closed;
she had another morn than ours."
