And when the moon, on another night,
Beheld her lying still and white,
It sighed, "'Tis well! now all is right."
And when one morning the sun arose,
And they bore her bier down the garden-close,
It touched her, saying, "At last, repose."
And they laid her down, so young and fair,
Where the grass was withered, the bough was bare,
All wrapped in the light of her golden hair.
So autumn passed and the winter went;
