'Twas on her bridal morn, I ween,

When she to Graeme had wedded been,

The man who undertook to bake

Never sent home the wedding cake!

Since then she wears those bells and rings,

Since then she rides—but, hush, she sings."

She sung! The voice in other days

It had been difficult to praise,

And now it every sweetness lacked,

And voice and singer both were cracked.
