In the Round Tower at JhansiJune 8, 1857A hundred, a thousand to one; even so; Not a hope in the world remained: The swarming howling wretches below Gained and gained and gained.Skene looked at his pale young wife:— ‘Is the time come?’—‘The time is come!’— Young, strong, and so full of life: The agony struck them dumb.Close his arm about her now, Close her cheek to his, Close the pistol to her brow— God forgive them this!‘Will it hurt much?’—‘No, mine own: I wish I could bear the pang for both.’ ‘I wish I could bear the pang alone: Courage, dear, I am not loth.‘Kiss and kiss: ‘It is not pain Thus to kiss and die. One kiss more.’—‘And yet one again.’— ‘Good-bye.’—‘Good-bye.’

Goblin Market, and Other Poems, 1862
