Ere I knew the cruel maiden, 
Tranquil was my artless breast^— 
Night ne’er came, with sorrow laden, 
Love ne’er broke my peaceful rest. 
Love for thee my soul hath spoken, 
At thy shrine hath bent me low ; 
But mV hopes are rudely broken, 
By thy cruel heartless blow 5 
Once to thee my faith was plighted, 
And my heart was fond and true 
Now my deep devotion slighted, 
Brands thee for a traitor foe.
