Like one above the water, drooped and wept.

And at the threshold, on the shattered stair,

In raiment sad one sate as cloaked in care;

There, too, her sister shape in vernal green,

The lintel old did hang with garlands fair.

“Who,” then I would have cried, “art thou that weep?

And why with mourning festal garlands heap?

Why thus, though kindred, are your hearts in twain!
