Where the fair Nymph her tresses wrung,

No form he saw of mortal mould;

It shone like ocean’s snowy foam;

Her ringlets waved in living gold,

Her mirror crystal, pearl her comb.

Her pearly comb the Siren took,

And careless bound her tresses wild;

Still o’er the mirror stole her look,

As on the wondering youth she smiled.

Like music from the greenwood tree,
