And fright the Trav’ller passing by:
But she, so kind and gentle seem’d,
Such sorrow in her dark eyes beam’d,
That savage fierceness could not greet
With less than love,—Poor Marguerite!
Oft, by the splashy brook she stood
And sung her Song to the waving wood;
The waving wood, in murmurs low,
Fill’d up the pause of weary woe;
Oft, to the Forest tripp’d along
