CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS Translated from the Greek of Bianor. —

I wept Theonos lost; but one fair child His father's heart of half its woe beguiled.
 * And now, sole source of hope and comfort left
 * That one fair child by envious fate is reft.
 * Death, hear a fathers prayer and lay to rest
 * My little one on its lost mothers breast.

Goldwin Smith. 135
