“Away then! I am locked in one of them.

If you do love me, you will find me out.”

The Ivy-Clad Ruin.[510]

’Tis the old, old church that for years I’ve known,

And with ivy green are its walls o’ergrown;

All its ancient splendor has passed away,

And there’s naught remaining but grim decay;

The pale moonbeams glimmer the windows through,

And the roofless floor is all damp with dew;

Both the pious priest and his flock are gone,
