As in the timid forest deer,
Even beneath her parents' roof
Stood as

Nearest and dearest knew not how
To fawn upon and love express;
A child devoid of childishness
To romp and play she ne'er would go:
Oft staring through the window pane
Would she in silence long remain.

And longer had she sung:--but with a frown Revenge

He threw his blood-stain'd sword in thunder down;
