To watch; the naked road she crossed,

And dived into the murmuring wood.

The branches snatched her streaming cloak;

A live thing shrieked; she made no stay!

She hurried to the trysting-oak—

Right well she knew the way.

Without a pause she bared her breast

And drove her dagger home and fell,

And lay like one that takes her rest,

And died and wakened up in hell.
