XII.

But Karagwe, when once he turned again,

Smote wildly his infuriated breast.

His fierce eyes flashed; he thirsted for revenge.

Then came a calmer mood, and far away

Sped the expelled thoughts like shuddering gusts of wind.

He wept that this injustice should be done;

Yet knew that in God's hand the scale was set,

And though His poor, down-trodden, waited long,

They waited surely, for His hour would come.
