'TIS done the night has pass'd away	A
And basking in the sunny day	A
The laughing fountain's waters bear	B
No record of each burning tear	B
The silent echoes give no sound	C
Of shriek or moan and nothing round	C
Can tell what breaking hearts have been	D
So lately in that quiet scene	E
But ere the evening falls again	F
Many a step o'er mount and glen	F
Shall hurry far and wide to seek	G
Her of the pallid brow and cheek	G
Proud is the eye of the bridegroom lord	H
He hath girt him round with a trusty sword	H
	-
And the horse that hath borne him to battle for years	I
Gladly his angry summons hears	J
His red nostrils snuffing the morning air	B
Nothing he heeds their heavy care	B
But waits till his high curving neck shall be freed	K
To bound o'er the hills with an arrow's speed	K
He is gone full swiftly he dashes by	L
And many a bright and beautiful eye	L
Follows the rider's form and dreams	M
Of pleasant walks by the dancing streams	M
Of moonlight whisperings in the grove	N
Of looks of ardour and vows of love	O
Fill those young hearts and they wonder why	L
Visions so happy should make them sigh	L
And more they wonder that any one	P
Of the numberless forms their eyes have known	Q
Should have stolen a heart which Carlos woo'd	R
By the fount and the lone wood's solitude	R
	-
Oh love real love intoxicating dream	S
Of beauty and of happiness how vain	T
Are our aspirings after thee which seem	S
To bring thee near us doubt and causeless pain	T
And jealousies and most unconstant sighs	U
For something fairer than this world supplies	U
And fondness which doth end in faint disgust	V
And airy hopes that crumble down to dust	V
These are not love though these too oft impart	W
A false excitement to the swelling heart	W
	-
To look upon the fairy one who stands	X
Before you with her young hair's shining bands	X
And rosy lips half parted and to muse	Y
Not on the features which you now peruse	Y
Not on the blushing bride but look beyond	Z
Unto the aged wife nor feel less fond	Z
To feel that while thy arm can strike them dead	A2
No breathing soul shall harm that gentle head	A2
To know that none with fierce and sudden strife	B2
Shall tear thee from her save with loss of life	B2
To keep thee but to one and let that one	P
Be to thy home what warmth is to the sun	P
To gaze and find no change when time hath made	C2
Youth's dazzling beauty darken into shade	C2
But fondly firmly cling to her nor fear	D2
The fading touch of each declining year	D2
This is true love when it hath found a rest	E2
In the deep home of manhood's faithful breast	E2
	-
To worship silently at some heart's shrine	F2
And feel but paint not all its fire in thine	F2
To pray for that heart's hopes when thine are gone	G2
Nor let its after coldness chill thine own	Q
To hold that one with every fault more dear	D2
Than all who whisper fondness in thine ear	H2
To joy thee in his joy and silently	I2
Meet the upbraiding of his angry eye	L
To bear unshrinking all the blows of fate	J2
Save that which leaves thy sorrow desolate	K2
Nor deem that woe which thou canst feel is still	L2
Borne with him and for him through every ill	L2
To smile on him nor weep save when apart	W
God and God only looks into thy heart	W
To keep unchanged thy calm pure quiet love	O
If he inconstant doth a new one prove	M2
To love all round him as a part of him	N2
Ev'n her he worships though thine eye be dim	N2
With weeping for thyself to pray that not	O2
One cloud may darken o'er their earthly lot	O2
With the affection of true hearts to see	I2
His happiness which doth not hang on thee	I2
Oh this is woman's love its joy its pain	T
And this it hath been felt and felt in vain	T
	-
They are dancing again by the misty veil	P2
Of the star lit sky and the moonlight pale	P2
Laughing and murmuring voices rise	U
With their gladsome tones to the peaceful skies	U
And no one voice hath a sadder tone	Q
For the sake of her whose form is gone	G2
Though her step was light in the dance and her brow	Q2
Fairer than any which gleam there now	Q2
Yet after the dance is done and faint	R2
Each languid limb on the turf is thrown	Q
Their gathering voices strive to paint	R2
The stranger heart that Linda won	P
And still as his wasted form pale brow	Q2
And mournful looks to their thoughts appear	D2
With his deep sad voice they wonder how	Q2
He hath pleaded his tale in Linda's ear	H2
And some dream wildly of wizard bower	S2
Which hath tempted those fair young feet to stray	A
And some of the sweet and charmed power	S2
Which lies in the moonlight's holy ray	A
And some who love oh they fondly feel	T2
In the hopeful heart of the promised bride	U2
That her soul may be bound in the woe or weal	T2
Of the stranger by the fountain's side	U2
And none be able to know or tell	T2
How such a love in her young heart grew	V2
Till the charm have bound their souls as well	T2
And the flame burn bright in their bosoms too	V2
	-
They travel fast the bridegroom lord	H
With his prancing steed and his trusty sword	H
And the brother tyrant by his side	U2
With marble brow and heart of pride	U2
But vainly they follow o'er vale and hill	T2
Through the tufted heath or the cool clear rill	T2
That mournful pair are far before	W2
Where the bleak sands lie and the billows roar	W2
Far from the smiling land of her birth	X2
Her early home on the boundless earth	X2
Hath Linda with tears resolved to go	Y2
For her mother's son is her deadly foe	Y2
Stern as he was when she watch'd each look	Z2
And obey'd ere he spoke oh how shall he brook	Z2
That her heart hath swerved and her vows are naught	A3
For the sake of the love which a stranger brought	A3
Oh far may her white foot seek and reach	B3
A home on Erin's shingled beach	B3
Where Miriam dwelt in their bless'd land	C3
Of the free warm heart and the open hand	C3
Where no hypocrite sneer their wrath disguises	D3
But the sword springs out as the heart's blood rises	E3
	-
There hath she chosen her home to be	I2
And their bark bounds over the foaming sea	I2
Silently watching by Isbal's side	U2
Sadly she looks on the curling tide	U2
And gloomily as it roams o'er all	T2
His eye is a guide where hers shall fall	T2
Sudden a light shot o'er that eye	L
And a quivering through him came	F3
And Linda though she knows not why	L
Clings trembling to his frame	F3
Hurriedly he spoke	G3
As the deep flush broke	G3
O'er his face	H3
'There is a vessel would it were a wreck	I3
I know it by the flag and on that deck	I3
Are forms my soul can trace	H3
Though yet I see them not I know	Y2
That could we meet a bitter woe	Y2
Were thine their power beneath	J3
Though yet I hear them not I feel	T2
Each voice would tear the polish'd steel	T2
From out its idle sheath	J3
Curse on the sails whose lagging speed	K
Doth leave us in our hour of need	K
Is there no wind in heaven	P
They come oh Linda cling to me	I2
Come closer yet more strength will be	I2
To love and vengeance given '	-
	-
Vain wrath Young Linda gazes on the sight	K3
Which thus hath conjured up a desperate fight	K3
And in the distance she doth spy a sail	T2
With its flag fluttering gently on the gale	T2
White calm and peaceful strange in truth it seems	M
That such a sight hath power to wake such dreams	M
Yet doth she shudder as with vehement force	L3
He clasps her round and views the vessel's course	L3
It nears it nears and through the signal glass	M3
The distant forms of crew and captain pass	M3
'Tis they 'tis they Her brother's haughty form	N3
Proudly erect defies the coming storm	N3
And seated near him in his mantle clad	O3
With brow almost as haughty but more sad	O3
Is he who woo'd her heart when love was yet	P3
A dream which those who wake strive vainly to forget	P3
	-
She sees them but all unconscious they	A
Who tracks them thus on their distant way	A
They hail the vessel then turn to gaze	Q3
Upon the sunset's parting rays	Q3
And veering in their course they sever	S2
Careless if they should p	I2
