With her pale, fair brow, and her eyes of love,

Upraised to the Virgin’s portray’d above,

And her hair flung back, till it swept the grave

Of a Chatillon with its gleamy wave;

And her fragile frame, at every blast,

That full of the savage war-horn pass’d,

Trembling, as trembles a bird’s quick heart,

When it vainly strives from its cage to part—

So knelt she in her woe;

A weeper alone with the tearless dead—
