But a weird uncanny drives her on.
"'Tis a bitter tale for Christian folk,
How once she dreamed, and how she woke."
"Ay, ay!" I passed and reached the spring
Where the poplars kept their whispering,
Hid for an hour in the shade,
In the rank marsh grass of a tiny glade.
There crossed the moor from the town afar,
In kirtle of white and cinnabar,
