be bold ! Mystic sprite ! unfold, unfold ! SECOND VOICE. Warrior ! from these walls of stone, Earth and air responds thy moan Be thy heart no longer riven, Thou art pardoned and forgiven. 86 THE CORAL WREATH ; OR, Warrior ! from her crystal home Edith may not cannot come, Till armed knight, of valour true, Cleave the wreath of coral through The ruby wreath that binds the tomb, Where lovely Edith weeps her doom Deep within the heaving sea, Where mortal art has never sounded, Where none but magic... spirits be, That ruddy wreath was wrought and rounded 'Twas the blood that fell from a mystic sprite, In contest fierce with a valiant knight In many a sheen and pearly shell 'Twas caught by viewless hands as it fell, And far to a cave in the ocean's bed, In fay-drawn cars 'twas lodged and led And mystic legions o'er it wept, And nightly vigils near it kept, And in a drear and moonless hour 'Twas formed and framed with magic power, And with flowers from fairy-land entwined, A mighty spell 'twas doomed to bind.
