It is she! it is she! she is treading the deep,

As a spirit of beauty and song; The heavens laugh above her, the tempest winds sleep,

And gaily around her the tiny waves creep, And caress as they bear her along.

Still onward she rushes!-she strikes!she swings round!

One reel, and her struggle is o'er. 30 They may shriek in their anguish in vain, for the sound

In the din of the horrible conflict is drown'd:

Woe, woe for the SAINT ISIDORE!

beach,

Is dimm'd by the bright eyes there; And young cheeks are glowing with richer bloom,

Than the roses in their hair: And young lips are whispering, what none may tell,

80

To young ears that tremble to hear; And one hour of pleasure has broken the spell

Of months of suspense and fear. And the good red wine has done its part,

Has flushed the cheek of the brave, Has opened the hoary statesman's heart, And has smoothed the brow of the grave.

There was joy that night at the banquet board,

There was joy in the festive hall; But not one thrill can their charms afford

To her who owns them all!
That castle's mistress is all alone,
Alone in her secret bower;
And wearily she makes her moan
From old ESTELLA'S tower:
It is a painful sight to see,

But why has she started from her chair, With her dark eyes raised to heaven in prayer?

Why are her hands fast-locked, and prest
So closely to her throbbing breast,
With her thin lips moving, as if to
speak,

And a transient flush on her delicate cheek,

And the tear that falls down her neck of snow,

As bright as the dew-drop on morning's brow?
