SongShe sat and sang alway By the green margin of a stream, Watching the fishes leap and play Beneath the glad sunbeam.I sat and wept alway Beneath the moon’s most shadowy beam, Watching the blossoms of the May Weep leaves into the stream.I wept for memory; She sang for hope that is so fair: My tears were swallowed by the sea; Her songs died on the air.

Goblin Market, and Other Poems, 1862
