Chapter 87 THE DREAM.

What's this? a wood-What's that? one calleth,

Calleth and cryeth in mortal dread-

He hears men strive-then somewhat falleth!-

"Help me, neighbor-I'm hard bestead."

The dream is strong-the voice he knoweth-

But when he would run, his feet are fast,

And death lies beyond, and no man goeth

To help, and he says the time is past.
