1025 "Oh! God be praised  my heart's at ease   For he is dead  I know it well!" OH GOD BE PRAISED MY HEART'S AT EASE FOR HE IS DEAD I KNOW IT WELL
rd Save from the trickling household rill; But, stepping o'er the cottage-sill, Forthwith a little Girl appeared. 1000 She to the Meeting-house was bound In hopes [110] some tidings there to gather: No glimpse it is, no doubtful gleam; She saw--and uttered with a scream, "My father! here's my father!" 1005 The very word was plainly heard, Heard plainly by the wretched Mother-- Her joy was like a deep affright: And forth she rushed into the light, And saw it was another! 1010 And, instantly, upon the earth, Beneath the full moon shining bright, Close to [111] the Ass's feet she fell; At the same moment Peter Bell Dismounts in most unhappy plight. 1015 As he beheld the Woman lie [112] Breathless and motionless, the mind Of Peter sadly was confused; But, though to such demands unused, And helpless almost as the blind, 1020 He raised her up; and, while he held Her body propped against his knee, The Woman waked--and when she spied The poor Ass standing by her side, She moaned most bitterly. DE THE DOOR THOUGHT PETER TIS THE POOR MAN'S HOME HE LISTENS NOT A SOUND IS HEARD SAVE FROM THE TRICKLING HOUSEHOLD RILL BUT STEPPING O'ER THE COTTAGE SILL FORTHWITH A LITTLE GIRL APPEARED SHE TO THE MEETING HOUSE WAS BOUND IN HOPES SOME TIDINGS THERE TO GATHER NO GLIMPSE IT IS NO DOUBTFUL GLEAM SHE SAW AND UTTERED WITH A SCREAM MY FATHER HERE'S MY FATHER THE VERY WORD WAS PLAINLY HEARD HEARD PLAINLY BY THE WRETCHED MOTHER HER JOY WAS LIKE A DEEP AFFRIGHT AND FORTH SHE RUSHED INTO THE LIGHT AND SAW IT WAS ANOTHER AND INSTANTLY UPON THE EARTH BENEATH THE FULL MOON SHINING BRIGHT CLOSE TO THE ASS'S FEET SHE FELL AT THE SAME MOMENT PETER BELL DISMOUNTS IN MOST UNHAPPY PLIGHT AS HE BEHELD THE WOMAN LIE BREATHLESS AND MOTIONLESS THE MIND OF PETER SADLY WAS CONFUSED BUT THOUGH TO SUCH DEMANDS UNUSED AND HELPLESS ALMOST AS THE BLIND HE RAISED HER UP AND WHILE HE HELD HER BODY PROPPED AGAINST HIS KNEE THE WOMAN WAKED AND WHEN SHE SPIED THE POOR ASS STANDING BY HER SIDE SHE MOANED MOST BITTERLY
