Sadly, like some childless mourner,

“To the church-yard they have borne her,

And torn hearts are throbbing madly,

Washed by Sorrow’s surge”—

Hark! a voice replieth sadly—

Sadly, like a dirge.

“Oh! she longed for May to greet her

With a honied kiss—

Greet her where bright eyes were glancing,

And the forms of sylphs were dancing
