The bell struck one and shook the silent tower	A
The graves give up their dead fair Elenor	A
Walk'd by the castle gate and look d in	B
A hollow groan ran thro' the dreary vaults	C
She shriek'd aloud and sunk upon the steps	D
On the cold stone her pale cheeks Sickly smells	E
Of death issue as from a sepulchre	A
And all is silent but the sighing vaults	C
	-
Chill Death withdraws his hand and she revives	F
Amaz'd she finds herself upon her feet	G
And like a ghost thro' narrow passages	H
Walking feeling the cold walls with her hands	I
	-
Fancy returns and now she thinks of bones	J
And grinning skulls and corruptible death	K
Wrapp'd in his shroud and now fancies she hears	L
Deep sighs and sees pale sickly ghosts gliding	M
	-
At length no fancy but reality	N
Distracts her A rushing sound and the feet	G
Of one that fled approaches Ellen stood	O
Like a dumb statue froze to stone with fear	A
	-
The wretch approaches crying The deed is done	P
Take this and send it by whom thou wilt send	Q
It is my life send it to Elenor	A
He's dead and howling after me for blood	R
	-
Take this ' he cried and thrust into her arms	S
A wet napkin wrapp'd about then rush'd	T
Past howling she receiv'd into her arms	S
Pale death and follow'd on the wings of fear	A
	-
They pass'd swift thro' the outer gate the wretch	U
Howling leap'd o'er the wall into the moat	V
Stifling in mud Fair Ellen pass'd the bridge	W
And heard a gloomy voice cry Is it done '	-
	-
As the deer wounded Ellen flew over	A
The pathless plain as the arrows that fly	X
By night destruction flies and strikes in darkness	Y
She fled from fear till at her house arriv'd	Z
	-
Her maids await her on her bed she falls	A2
That bed of joy where erst her lord hath press'd	B2
Ah woman's fear ' she cried ah curs d duke	C2
Ah my dear lord ah wretched Elenor	A
	-
My lord was like a flower upon the brows	D2
Of lusty May Ah life as frail as flower	A
O ghastly death withdraw thy cruel hand	E2
Seek'st thou that flow'r to deck thy horrid temples	F2
	-
My lord was like a star in highest heav'n	P
Drawn down to earth by spells and wickedness	Y
My lord was like the opening eyes of day	G2
When western winds creep softly o'er the flowers	H2
	-
But he is darken'd like the summer's noon	P
Clouded fall'n like the stately tree cut down	P
The breath of heaven dwelt among his leaves	I2
O Elenor weak woman fill'd with woe '	-
	-
Thus having spoke she rais d up her head	J2
And saw the bloody napkin by her side	K2
Which in her arms she brought and now tenfold	L2
More terrifi d saw it unfold itself	M2
	-
Her eyes were fix'd the bloody cloth unfolds	N2
Disclosing to her sight the murder'd head	J2
Of her dear lord all ghastly pale clotted	R
With gory blood it groan'd and thus it spake	O2
	-
O Elenor I am thy husband's head	J2
Who sleeping on the stones of yonder tower	A
Was 'reft of life by the accurs d duke	C2
A hir d villain turn'd my sleep to death	K
	-
O Elenor beware the curs d duke	C2
O give not him thy hand now I am dead	J2
He seeks thy love who coward in the night	P2
Hir d a villain to bereave my life '	-
	-
She sat with dead cold limbs stiffen'd to stone	P
She took the gory head up in her arms	S
She kiss'd the pale lips she had no tears to shed	J2
She hugg'd it to her breast and groan'd her last	Q2
