The weary policeman directed her, straight, To the haven she so wished to find ; And lest she might miss it,after pointing the way, He cautiously followed behind. Having entered the Barracks, and heard her “hold forth,” His mind was in sad tribulation ; But at last he found peace, and sought to convert His comrades down at the Station. * * > . + The officer's seen at the crossing no more, For something’s gone wrong in his brain; And his family are thinking of placing him, soon, In a home for the harmless insane.
