54 At that moment broke there

News of death.

Faster yet, and faster

Flew that wail

Of the dread disaster,

Till the tale

Over all the city

Cast its gloom

Of dismay and pity

For such doom.

When the rumors rang there

At the start,

More than one man sprang there

Sick at heart.

One thus fearing, waited,

Dumb with fear

For the friend "half hated,"

Now so dear.
