And came to long lush grass; and now coud mark

By many a token that the plain was nigh.

When lo! a river: to whose brink at last

Being come, upon the bank her limbs she cast,

And through her sad tears watch’d the stream go by.

And now the thought came o’er her that in death

There was a cure for sorrow, that before

Her eyes ran Lethe, she might take one breath

Of water and be freed for evermore.
