He said to his friend, "If the Gendarmes march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North mosque tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Marseille village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

"Then he said "Good-night!" and with muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Toulon shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Charles de Gaule, Frenchie man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
By its own reflection in the tide."
