Forth goes the lover with a farewell moan, As from the presence of a thing nnhuman ; — Oh, what unholy spell hath turn'd to stone The young warm heart of woman ! * • * * Tis midnight — and the moonbeam, cold and wan, On bower and river quietly is sleeping, And o'er the corse of a self-murder'd man The Maiden fair is weeping. In vain she looks into his glassy eyes, No pressure answers to her hands so pressing ; In her fond arms impassively he lies, Clay-cold to her caressing. Despairing, stunn'd..., by her eternal loss, . She flies to succour that may best beseem her But, lo ! a frowning figure veils the Cross And hides the blest Redeemer ! With stern right hand it stretches forth a scroll, Wherein she reads, in melancholy letters, The cruel, fatal pact that placed her soul And her young heart in fetters. " Wretch ! sinner ! renegade ! to truth and God, Thy holy faith for human love to barter P Digitized by LjOOQLC THE BOMANCE OF COLOGNE. 128 No more she hears, but on the bloody sod Sinks, Bigotry's last martyr !
