And there the last drops OF MS tears ne gave
Unto the earth, made his peoples grave.
Tears his only fortune now so he
Must needs expend them only sparingly.
lie then arose, to wander far and wide,
His mute grief like shadow by his SIDE
When weary with his wanderings and dstress'd
Within silent vale he sought for rest,
In a strange country, midst foreign nation
And there it his secret consolation
That death would find him out more easily
Than if he wildly 70 md Ger land and sea.
The greatest prize upon earth's face the knight
Full surely deem'd to be deaths blossom white.
For this he waited in the vale each day
Whittier he came and where he now would stay
Within that valley lived maiden fair,
A very paragon of beauty rare;
And yet the Knight her beauty could not see,
His soul but his country's misery.
He not how upon his countenance
The maid wont to cast her timid glance;
He unconscious of the fiery glow
That glance wont upon his face to throw
So passd the maids sad days within that vale,
Her face grew paler than the lily pale
With the fierce pain of yearning long Suppressed;
For she, the peasant maiden, meier confessed
although she of wealthy race) that she
Did love the high-born knight tendery.
In that same valley lived a homely youth,
Honest but poor, of humble birth in truth;
He spent his days in hopeless misery
And would have surely perish'd, had not he
From time to time his dropping strength restored
By gazing the maiden's face adored.
Only in secret he her charms dared view
Which DER lifes gloom their magic lustre threw,
For he, who deem'd himself well off wheneer
Somewhat more food than usual was his share,
How could he tell the wealthy peasant maiden
How with loves pangs his heart deeply laden?
Yet he was happy and of cheerful mien,
Could he but see her at distance cen.
Atlength the solemn hour arrived which bore
The hapess knight to that eternal shore
Where ganst brave nations proud tyrant churl
His puny thunderbolts has power to hurl
Back to his mother earth his corpse they gave
But alb no stone there to mark his grave.
The maden's heart, with speechess grief oppressed,
Was turhd to stone already in her breast
And when the heart hath lost its feelings thus,
What charms this vain world hold out to us?
She died, borne down by her great sorrows burden,
And slept where pain stld and peace her guerdon
And the poor wight, dsconsolate and lonely,
How could he live life of sorrow only,
When she for whom alone he lived, had died?-
He healed his bleeding heart by suicide
At midnight, when the graves give up their dead,
The poor youth rose from out his narrow bed,
And wander'd forth to seek the grassy dell
Where they had buried her he loved so we'll
That face now gorfed he fan would see
Whose earthly eyes had beam'd so tenderly
Yet in her tomb he found her not; alone
Had she along the spirit pathway gone
To the knights grave, more to see him there:
His grave empty, vain was all her prayer;
The knight had gone to a far land to see
If his dear native country yet was free!
