HOME THEY BROUGHT HER
WARRIOR DEAD
By ALFRED TENNYSON

HOME they brought her warrior dead:
She nor swoon'd nor utter'd cry:
All her maidens, watching, said,
" She must weep or she will die."
Then they praised him, soft and low,
Call'd him worthy to be loved, Truest friend and noblest foe;
Yet she never spoke nor moved.

Stole a maiden from her place.
Lightly to the warrior stept,
Took a face-cloth from the face;
Yet she neither moved nor wept.

Rose a nurse of ninety years,
Set his child upon her knee— Like summer tempest came her tears—
" Sweet my child, I live for thee."

231 CHARLES DICKENS
