42 That's like an infant's grave in size

And that same pond of which I spoke,

A woman in a scarlet cloak,

And to herself she cries,

"Oh misery! oh misery!

"Oh woe is me! oh misery!"

VII.

At all times of the day and night

This wretched woman thither goes,

And she is known to every star,

And every wind that blows;

And there beside the thorn she sits

When the blue day-light's in the skies,

And when the whirlwind's on the hill,

Or frosty air is keen and still,

And to herself she cries,

"Oh misery! oh misery!

"Oh woe is me! oh misery;"
