And thought upon her lord and wept.

By fear and bitter woe oppressed

She bathed the beauties of her breast

With her hot tears' incessant flow,

And found no respite from her woe.

As shakes a plantain in the breeze

She shook, and fell on trembling knees;

While at each demon's furious look

Her cheek its native hue forsook.

She lay and wept and made her moan
