Ashen and gray?

Bear, then, this message, Dove,

When you depart,

Safe to my northern Love,

Quick! Like a dart!

Bill her and coo her this

Seal of triumphant bliss,

One young, immortal kiss,

Hot from my heart.

Then, in the autumn time,

Tailing the pole,

From my Love's cooling clime

Make me your goal;

Flash to this field of Fame,

Linked with her darling name,

All her concordant flame,

Deep from her soul.

THE WAR SONG OF WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR.

"By the splendor of God!" was a characteristic oath of William the Conqueror.

By the splendor of God! We come! We come!
