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
