Illustration for last stanza of "The Brownie", depicting the verse "He had repented -- late, oh late! -- / And in his woe had come / To die alone beside the gate / Of his deserted home: / But sadly by one stranger stood, / In cloak of russet-brown, / Of fashion old, with cape and hood / That to his waist came down". Incorporated are the words "He had repented -- late, oh late!", in stylized hand lettering.
