Pale the moon her light was shedding	A
O'er the landscape far and wide	B
Calmly bright all ills undreading	A
Emma wander'd by my side	B
	-
Night's sad birds their harsh notes utter'd	C
Perching low among the trees	D
Emma's milk white kirtle flutter'd	C
Graceful in the rising breeze	D
	-
Then in sweetness more than mortal	E
Sang a voice a plaintive air	F
As we pass'd the church's portal	E
Lo a ghostly form stood there	F
	-
Emma come thy mother's calling	A
Lone I lie in night and gloom	G
Whilst the sun and moon beams falling	A
Glance upon my marble tomb	G
	-
Emma star'd upon the figure	H
Wish'd to speak but vainly tried	B
Press'd my hand with loving vigour	H
Trembled faulter'd gasp'd and died	B
	-
Home I bore my luckless maiden	I
Home I bore her in despair	H
Chilly blasts with night dew laden	I
Rustled through her streaming hair	H
	-
Plunging then amid the forest	J
Soon I found the stately tree	H
Under which when heat was sorest	J
She was wont to sit with me	H
	-
Down my cheek ran tears in fever	H
While with axe its stem I cut	J
Soon it fell and I with lever	H
Roll'd it straight to Emma's hut	J
	-
Kiss'd her oft and love empassion'd	J
Sung a song in wildest tones	K
While the oaken boards I fashion'd	J
Doom'd to hide her lovely bones	K
	-
Thereupon I sought the bower	H
Where she kept her single hive	L
Morning shone on tree and flower	H
All around me look'd alive	L
	-
Stung by bees in thousand places	M
Out I took the yellow comb	N
Emma deck'd in all her graces	O
Past my vision seem'd to roam	N
	-
Soon of wax I form'd a taper	H
O'er my love it cast its ray	H
'Till the night came clad in vapour	H
When in grave I laid her clay	H
	-
Deep below me sank the coffin	P
While my tears fell fast as rain	Q
Deep it sank and I full often	I
Thought to heave it up again	R
	-
Soon as e'er the stars so merry	H
Heaven's arch next night illum'd	J
Sad I sought the cemetery	H
Where my true love lay entomb'd	J
	-
Then in sweetness more than mortal	E
Sang a voice a plaintive lay	H
Underneath the church's portal	E
Emma stood in death array	H
	-
Louis come thy love is calling	A
Lone I lie in night and gloom	G
Whilst the sun and moon beams falling	A
Glance upon my lowly tomb	G
	-
Emma dear I cried in gladness	O
Take me too beneath the sod	J
Leave me not to pine in sadness	O
Here on earth's detested clod	J
	-
Death should only strike the hoary	H
Yet my Louis thou shalt die	J
When the stars again in glory	H
Shine upon the midnight sky	J
	-
Tears bedeck'd her long eyelashes	O
While she kiss'd my features wan	S
Then like flame that dies o'er ashes	O
All at once the maid was gone	T
	-
Therefore pluck I painted violets	O
Which shall strew my lifeless clay	H
When to night the stars have call'd me	H
Unto joys that last for aye	J
