A tale begun in other days,When summer suns were glowing-

Whose echoes live in memory yet,Though envious years would say 'forget'
Come, hearken then, ere voice of dread, with bitter tidings laden
Shall summon to unwelcome bedA melancholy maiden!
We are but older children, dear,Who fret to find our bedtime near.
