“Hosanna in the highest!”’ Here she woke,
Resolved, sent for him and said wildly to him
‘There is no reason why we should not wed.’
‘Then for God’s sake,’ he answer’d, ‘both our sakes,
So you will wed me, let it be at once.’ 510

Merrily rang the bells and they were wed.
But never merrily beat Annie’s heart.
A footstep seem’d to fall beside her path,
She knew not whence; a whisper on her ear, 515
