That day the youth was told the tale,
How she had pined beneath the veil
And died, and then they show'd her grave-
He knew that cypress's green wave. -
That night, alone, he watched his bride -
The next they laid him by her side. (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)

That day the youth was told the tale, How she had pined beneath the veil And died, and then they show'd her grave- He knew that cypress's green wave. - That night, alone, he watched his bride - The next they laid him by her side.
