With fettered hands and ringlets shorn,

Poor Alice Hill, a maniac, borne

On to the mad-house's gloomy walls,

For ever on Fitch Moreland calls,—

"I am not mad! Unloose these bands!

See here my tortured, bleeding hands!

On Moreland's ring a crimson stain:

It shall not plead my wrongs in vain;

For in my heart revenge lies deep—

Its glassy eyes shall never sleep,
