SEEK BY THE SILVERY DARRO.

---

Seek by the silvery Darro,
    Where jasmine flowers have blown;
There hath she left no footsteps?
        —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.
