  Walter Scott, Sir Walter Scott (1841). “The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Bart”, p.106

• What various scenes, and O! what scenes of Woe,
  Are witness'd by that red and struggling beam!
  The fever'd patient, from his pallet low,
  Through crowded hospitals beholds it stream;
  The ruined maiden trembles at its gleam,
  The debtor wakes to thought of gyve and jail,
  The love-lorn wretch starts from tormenting dream;
  The wakeful mother, by the glimmering pale,
  Trims her sick infant's couch, and soothes his feeble wail.

  Walter Scott

  Mother, Dream, Morning
