IV.

And she is gone!—the royal and the young,

In soul commanding, and in heart benign!

Who, from a race of kings and heroes sprung,

Glow’d with a spirit lofty as her line.

Now may the voice she loved on earth so well

Breathe forth her name unheeded and in vain;

Nor can those eyes on which her own would dwell

Wake from that breast one sympathy again:

The ardent heart, the towering mind are fled,

Yet shall undying love still linger with the dead.
