The Nightingale (19) [The Nightingale]
The Nightingale (19)
All at once there came in at the window the most glorious burst of song.
It was the little living Nightingale, who, sitting outside on a bough, had heard the need of her Emperor and had come to sing to him of comfort and hope.
And as she sang the blood flowed quicker and quicker in the Emperor's weak limbs, and life began to return.
" Thank you, oh, thank you ! " said the Emperor.
" You divine little bird ! I know you. I chased you from my kingdom, and you have given me life again ! How can I reward you ? "
" You have done that already ! " replied the Nightingale.
" I brought tears to your eyes the first time I sang. They are jewels that rejoice a singer's heart. But now you should sleep and get strong again. "
And the Emperor fell into a deep, calm sleep as she sang.
