Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.

Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”

“The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.”
