The Lost One.

Seek by the silvery Darro,
    Where jasmine flowers have blown;
There hath she left no foot-print?—
    Weep, weep, the maid is gone!

Seek where our Lady's image
    Smiles o'er the pine-hung steep;
Hear ye not there her vespers?—
    Weep for the parted, weep!

Seek in the porch where vine-leaves
    O'ershade her father's head;
Are his grey hairs left lonely?—
    Weep! her bright soul is fled!
