      Oveii a new-filled grave a maiden tender , Planted with tears and prayer a poplar slender .

      " Grow , grow , fair tree , " she said , " Lift to the stars thy head ,

      Where dwells unseen iny love ; Eise , ever rise above !

      ( i Let every branch aspire , As do my arms , mine eyes ,

      Till with my soul ' s desire , Thy summit , mounting higher ,

      Be hidden in the skies . O poplar ! on this dear mound ever show

      A faithful emblem of my love and woe . " Over a new-made grave a lover bending ,

      A willow planted , every leaf down-tending . " Droop low to weep , " he said ,

      iC Above my blue-eyed maid ; * Sad tree , still earthward bow , doth irit

      As my spnow . " Droop till thy verdant tresses

      The hallowed cold turf sweep , Mingling their light caresses

      "With these my fond lip presses , Where my beloved doth sleep .

      O willow ! on this dear mound shalt thoii grow , A faithful emblem of my love and woe . "
