“She would have DIED, to follow me!

“And yet she sleeps beneath yon stone

“And I STILL LIVE—to weep alone.

XVI.

“The playful kid, she lov’d so well

“From yon high clift was seen to fall;

“I heard, afar, his tink’ling bell—

“Which seem’d in vain for aid to call—

“I heard the harmless suff’rer moan,

“And griev’d that he was left alone.
