Jeremiah A Drama In Nine Scenes

The Flat Roof Of Jeremiah's House; The White Flagstones Gleam In The Dim Moonlight. Below Are Seen The Towers And Battlements Of Sleeping Jerusalem. Nothing Stirs, Save That From Time To Time We Hear The Whispering Of The Breeze That Heralds The Dawn. Of A Sudden, Impetuous Footsteps Sound Upon The Stair. Jeremiah Staggers In; His Robe Is Torn Open At The Throat; He Gasps Like One Being Strangled.
