And harbour knew she none, where her distress

Might comfort find, or love’s dishonour hide;

Nor felt she any dread like that of home:

Yet forth she must, albeit to rove and roam

An outcast o’er the country far and wide.

Anon she marvel’d noting from the vale

A path lead downward to the plain below,

Crossing the very site, whereon the pale

Of all her joy had stood few hours ago;
