The wand’ring, dingy, gabbling race,

Crowded in merry mood.

And now she loiter’d near the scene.

Now peep’d the hazle copse between;

Fearful that Lubin might be near

The story of her Fate to hear.—

She saw the feasting circle gay

By the stol’n faggot’s yellow light;

She heard them, as in sportive play,

They chear’d the sullen gloom of night.
