III.

His gaze at last met the stranger's glance,
And then athwart his countenance
There came a ghastly smile,—
That passed away the while,
As swiftly as the meteors dance
Across heaven's darkened countenance,
64

Illuming yonder isle.
And his features wore their wonted gloom
As hopeless, as cheerless, as dark as the tomb.
