 THE WILLOW-TREE.

morn was bright, the steeds were light,
 * The wedding guests were gay:

Young Ellen stood within the wood
 * And watched them pass away.

She scarcely saw the gallant train:
 * The tear-drop dimmed her ee:

Unheard the maiden did complain
 * Beneath the Willow-Tree.

"Oh Robin, thou didst love me well,
 * Till, on a bitter day,

She came, the Lady Isabel,
 * And stole thy heart away.

My tears are vain: I live again
 * In days that used to be,

When I could meet thy welcome feet
 * Beneath the Willow-Tree.
