Their mists, their forests, and their storms,—

She, whose blue eye of laughing light

Once made each festal scene more bright;

Whose voice in song of joy was sweetest,

Whose step in dance of mirth was fleetest,

By torrent wave and mountain brow,

Is wandering as an outcast now,

To share with Lindheim’s fallen chief

His shame, his terror, and his grief.

Hast thou not mark’d the ruin’s flower,
