Tones in her quivering voice awoke,

As if a harp of battle spoke;

Light, that seem’d born of an eagle’s nest,

Flash’d from her soft eyes unrepress’d;

And her form, like a spreading water-flower,

When its frail cup swells with a sudden shower,

Seem’d all dilated with love and pride,

And grief for that brother, her young heart’s guide.

Well might they love!—those two had grown

Orphans together and alone:
