A Ballad.
The Lawns were dry in Euston Park; (Here Truth [1] inspires my Tale)The lonely footpath, still and dark, Led over Hill and Dale.
[Footnote 1: This Ballad is founded on a fact. The circumstance occurredperhaps long before I was born: but is still related by my Mother, andsome of the oldest inhabitants in that part of the country. R. B. ] Benighted was an ancient Dame, And fearful haste she madeTo gain the vale of Fakenham, And hail its Willow shade.
Her footsteps knew no idle stops, Bu...t follow'd faster still;And echo'd to the darksome Copse That whisper'd on the Hill; Where clam'rous Rooks, yet scarcely hush'd, Bespoke a peopled shade;And many a wing the foliage brush'd, And hov'ring circuits made.
The dappled herd of grazing Deer That sought the Shades by day, Now started from her path with fear, And gave the Stranger way.
Darker it grew; and darker fears Came o'er her troubled mind;When now, a short quick step she hears Come patting close behind.
She turn'd; it stopt;--nought could she see Upon the gloomy plain!But, as she strove the Sprite to flee, She heard the same again.
