Work rating: Low


O tame heart, and why are you weary and cannot rest? here is the hearth with its glow and the roof that forbids the rain, a swept and a garnish`d quiet, a peace: and were you not fain to be gather`d in dusk and comfort and barter away the rest? And is your dream now of riding away from a stricken field on a lost and baleful eve, when the world went out in rain, one of some few that rode evermore by the bridle-rein of a great beloved chief, with high heart never to yield? Was that you? and you ween you are back in your life of old when you dealt as your pride allow`d and reck`d not of other rein? Nay, tame heart, be not idle: it is but the ancient rain that minds you of manhood forgone and the perilous joy of the bold.
