'Twas «leail of itight, the wiiul blew ke^n,
Thtf miKin shonf round a gio<»my red ;
When ((oor MAHtA uil uuseen.
Arose a lid left her sleepless bed.
Her slee|)less be<l , she nightly tost.
Nor uiight of rest, her days e'er knew;
Fitr long her hopjess love was orost,
Ami nij)t the fiml, M here first it grew,

Ah. aie.hovt cruel was the word,
Which then forbade her virgin heart;
To think of HENRY, own'd it's Lord,
And forcAl foi ever both to part.
I'nha|»|)v,<looiii her reason fled,
In keen flispair she l)ears the storm.
Fearless she from tlie windov. sj)ed ,
Nor fears to binise her tender form.

And soon she cliiu'd the garden wall,
Th')' |)iercjng |:;lass it's toj) surround;
Her <lre.id intent nough« could iil>4>al ,
And all in blood she reach'd the ground.
The crimson ground she smild to view,
Nmt didpt one lear, nor breath'tl one ntoati.;
