All night the fretful, shrill Banshee

Lurks in the chambers' dark festoons,

Calling for ever, o'er garden and river,

Through magpie changing of the moons:

'Alulvan, O, alas! Alulvan,

The doom of lone Alulvan!'

THE PEDLAR

There came a Pedlar to an evening house;

Sweet Lettice, from her lattice looking down,
