    flee to the gale
    And blue the lips once sweetly pleasing
    "Ah! Speak" she cried I faint in fear
    O! why so changed, so sad so gloomy
    Say can'st thou doubt a heart so dear
    Alas methought you better knew me
    "Beloved Sebana" he softly said
    Calm thy sad heart in patience hear me
    Love bids me hope dear faithful maid
    That e'en in death you no fear me
    For O of earth no more I breathe
    Cold lies my corpse in yonder bower
