Frederick leaves the land of France	A
Homeward hastes his steps to measure	B
Careless casts the parting glance	A
On the scene of former pleasure	B
	-
Joying in his prancing steed	C
Keen to prove his untried blade	D
Hope's gay dreams the soldier lead	E
Over mountain moor and glade	D
	-
Helpless ruin'd left forlorn	F
Lovely Alice wept alone	G
Mourn'd o'er love's fond contract torn	F
Hope and peace and honour flown	G
	-
Mark her breast's convulsive throbs	A
See the tear of anguish flows	A
Mingling soon with bursting sobs	A
Loud the laugh of frenzy rose	A
	-
Wild she cursed and wild she pray'd	D
Seven long days and nights are o'er	B
Death in pity brought his aid	D
As the village bell struck four	H
	-
Far from her and far from France	A
Faithless Frederick onward rides	A
Marking blithe the morning's glance	A
Mantling o'er the mountain's sides	A
	-
Heard ye not the boding sound	I
As the tongue of yonder tower	B
Slowly to the hills around	I
Told the fourth the fated hour	B
	-
Starts the steed and snuffs the air	J
Yet no cause of dread appears	A
Bristles high the rider's hair	J
Struck with strange mysterious fears	A
	-
Desperate as his terror rise	A
In the steed the spur he hides	A
From himself in vain he flies	A
Anxious restless on he rides	A
	-
Seven long days and seven long nights	A
Wild he wander'd woe the wile	K
Ceaseless care and causeless fright	L
Urge his footsteps many a mile	K
	-
Dark the seventh sad night descends	A
Rivers swell and rain streams pour	H
While the deafening thunder lends	A
All the terrors of its roar	H
	-
Weary wet and spent with toil	M
Where his head shall Frederick hide	N
Where but in yon ruin'd aisle	K
By the lightning's flash descried	N
	-
To the portal dank and low	O
Fast his steed the wanderer bound	N
Down a ruin'd staircase slow	O
Next his darkling way he wound	N
	-
Long drear vaults before him lie	P
Glimmering lights are seen to glide	N
'Blessed Mary hear my cry	P
Deign a sinner's steps to guide '	-
	-
Often lost their quivering beam	Q
Still the lights move slow before	H
Till they rest their ghastly gleam	Q
Right against an iron door	H
	-
Thundering voices from within	R
Mix'd with peals of laughter rose	A
As they fell a solemn strain	S
Lent its wild and wondrous close	A
	-
Midst the din he seem'd to hear	T
Voice of friends by death removed	N
Well he knew that solemn air	J
'Twas the lay that Alice loved	N
	-
Hark for now a solemn knell	U
Four times on the still night broke	V
Four times at its deaden'd swell	U
Echoes from the ruins spoke	V
	-
As the lengthen'd clangours die	P
Slowly opes the iron door	H
Straight a banquet met his eye	P
But a funeral's form it wore	H
	-
Coffins for the seats extend	N
All with black the board was spread	N
Girt by parent brother friend	N
Long since number'd with the dead	N
	-
Alice in her grave clothes bound	N
Ghastly smiling points a seat	N
All arose with thundering sound	N
All the expected stranger greet	N
	-
High their meagre arms they wave	W
Wild their notes of welcome swell	U
'Welcome traitor to the grave	W
Perjured bid the light farewell '	-
