LITTLE ENGEL.
It was the little Engel, he
So handsome was and gay;
To Upland rode he on a tide
And bore a maid away.
In ill hour he to Upland rode
And made a maid his prize;
The first night they together lay
Was down by Vesteryse.
It was the little Engel he
Awoke at black midnight,
And straight begins his dream to state
In terror and affright.
