XXVIII.

Old Orvar was affected,—and his eye
Emitted wond'rous beams;
As though a tender soul
Dwelt in a cold exterior; and a sigh

Or something like it, from his bosom came;
And round his changing eye
That sparkled like a ball of flame,
A mist seemed gathering, and a drop fell down,
A scalding drop, as though it was a tear.
