“We watched her breathing through the night,
Her breathing soft and low,
As in her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving to and fro.”
The Death-Bed; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“A breath upon her hand
Muted the night.
She turned —
A cymbal crashed,
Amid roaring horns.”
