blue silence of the sky�察�Fresh stars shine out�察�and more and more�察�Where I 

could see so few before�察�So�察�the more steadily I gaze Upon those far´off 

misty days�察�Fresh words�察�fresh tones�察�fresh memories start Before my eyes 

and in my heart。 I can remember how one day ��Talking in silly  childish 

way�� I said how happy I should be If I were like her sonas fair�察�With just 

such bright blue eyes as he�察�And such long locks of golden hair。 A strange 

smile on her pale face broke�察�And in strange solemn words she spoke�此 �My 

own�察  �my   darling   oneno�察  �no�   �I   love   you�察  �far�察  �far   better   so。   I   would   not 

change the look you bear�察�Or one wave of your dark brown hair。 The mere 

glance   of   your   sunny  eyes�察  �Deep   in   my  deepest   soul   I   prize Above   that 

baby fair� �Not one of all the Earl's proud line In beauty ever matched with 

thine�察�And�察  �'tis   by   thy   dark   locks   thou   art   Bound   even   faster   round   my 

heart�察�And made more wholly mine� ─�And then she paused�察�and weeping 

said�察   �You   are   like   one   who   now   is   dead   ´   Who   sleeps   in   a   far´distant 

grave。 Oh may God grant that you may be As noble and as good as he�察�As 

gentle and as brave� ─�Then in my childish way I cried�察 �The one you tell 

me of who died�察�Was he as noble as the Earl�拭─�I see her red lips scornful 

curl�察�I feel her hold my hand again So tightly�察�that I shrink in pain ´ I seem 

to hear her say�察 �He whom I tell you of�察�who died�察�He was so noble and so 

gay�察�So generous and so brave�察�That the proud Earl by his dear side Would 

look a craven slave。; She paused�察�then�察�with a quivering sigh�察�She laid her 

hand upon my brow�此 �Live like him�察�darling�察�and so die。 Remember that 

he tells you now�察�True peace�察�real honour�察�and content�察�In cheerful pious 

toil abide�察�That gold and splendour are but sent To curse our vanity and 



                                                                                           91

pride。; One day some childish fever pain Burnt in my veins and fired my 

brain。 Moaning�察�I turned from side to side�察�And�察�sobbing in my bed�察�I cried�察�

Till night in calm and darkness crept Around me�察�and at last I slept。 When 

suddenly   I   woke   to   see   The   Lady   bending   over   me。   The   drops   of   cold 

November rain Were falling from her long�察�damp hair�察�Her anxious eyes 

were dim with pain�察�Yet she looked wondrous fair。 Arrayed for some great 

feast she came�察�With stones that shone and burnt like flame�察�Wound round 

her neck�察�like some bright snake�察�And set like stars within her hair�察�They 

sparkled so�察�they seemed to make A glory everywhere。 I felt her tears upon 

my face�察�Her kisses on my eyes�察�And a strange thought I could not trace I 

felt   within   my  heart   arise�察�And�察  �half   in   feverish   pain�察  �I   said�此   �Oh   if   my 

mother were not dead� ─�And Walter bade me sleep�察�but she Said�察 �Is it not 

the same to thee That _I_ watch by thy bed�拭─�I answered her�察 �I love you�察�

too�察�But it can never be the same�察�She was no Countess like to you�察�Nor 

wore such sparkling stones of flame。; Oh the wild look of fear and dread� �

The cry she gave of bitter woe� �I often wonder what I said To make her 

moan   and shudder   so。 Through   the   long night she   tended   me With   such 

sweet care and charity。 But should weary you to tell All that I know and 

love so well�此�Yet one night more stands out alone With a sad sweetness all 

its own。 

     The     wind    blew    loud   that   dreary   night�此  �Its  wailing     voice   I  well 

remember�此  �The   stars   shone   out   so   large   and   bright   Upon   the   frosty   fir´ 

boughs white�察�That dreary night of cold December。 I saw old Walter silent 

stand�察  �Watching   the   soft   white   flakes   of   snow   With   looks   I   could   not 

understand�察�Of strange perplexity and woe。 At last he turned and took my 

hand�察�And said the Countess just had sent To bid us come�察�for she would 

fain See me once more�察�before she went Awaynever to come again。 We 

came  in   silence   through   the   wood   ��Our   footfall   was   the  only  sound�� To 

where   the   great   white   castle   stood�察  �With   darkness   shadowing   it   around。 

Breathless�察�we trod with cautious care Up the great echoing marble stair�察�

Trembling�察  �by   Walter's   hand   I   held�察  �Scared   by   the   splendours   I   beheld�此�

Now thinking�察 �Should the Earl appear� ─�Now looking up with giddy fear 

To   the   dim   vaulted   roof�察  �that   spread   Its   gloomy   arches   overhead。   Long 

corridors we softly past�察。�My heart was beating loud and fast�� And reached 



                                                                                           92

the Lady's room at last�此�A strange faint odour seemed to weigh Upon the 

dim and darkened air�察�One shaded lamp�察�with softened ray�察�Scarce showed 

the gloomy splendour there。 The dull red brands were burning low�察�And 

yet a fitful gleam of light�察�Would now and then�察�with sudden glow�察�Start 

forth�察�then sink again in night。 I gazed around�察�yet half in fear�察�Till Walter 

told me to draw near�此�And in the strange and flickering light�察�Towards the 

Lady's   bed   I   crept�察  �All   folded   round   with   snowy   white�察  �She   lay�察  。�one 

would have said she slept�撮� So still the look of that white face�察�It seemed 

as it were carved in stone�察�I paused before I dared to place Within her cold 

white hand my own。 But�察�with a smile of sweet surprise�察�She turned to me 

her   dreamy   eyes�察�And   slowly�察  �as   if   life   were   pain�察  �She   drew   me   in   her 

arms to lie�此�She strove to speak�察�and strove in vain�察�Each breath was like a 

long´drawn       sigh。   The    throbs    that  seemed      to  shake    her   breast�察  �The 

trembling clasp�察�so loose and weak�察�At last grew calmer�察�and at rest�察�And 

then she strove once more to speak�此 �My God�察�I thank thee�察�that my pain 

Of day by day and year by year�察�Has not been suffered all in vain�察�And I 

may die while he is near。 I will not fear but that Thy grace Has swept away 

my sin and woe�察�And sent this little angel face�察�In my last hour to tell me 

so。; ��And here her voice grew faint and low�撮� ;My child�察�where'er thy life 

may   go�察  �To   know   that   thou   art   brave   and   true�察  �Will   pierce   the   highest 

heavens   through�察�And   even   there   my   soul   shall   be   More   joyful   for   this 

thought   of   thee。;   She   folded   her   white   hands�察  �and   stayed�察�All   cold   and 

silently she lay�此�I knelt beside the bed�察�and prayed The prayer she used to 

make me say。 I said it many times�察�and then She did not move�察�but seemed 

to be In a deep sleep�察�nor stirred again。 No sound woke in the silent room�察�

Or broke the dim and solemn gloom�察�Save when the brands that burnt so 

low�察�With noisy fitful gleam of light�察�Would spread around a sudden glow�察�

Then sink in silence and in night。 How long I stood I do not know�此�At last 

poor    Walter    came�察    �and   said   ��So   sadly��   that  we    now    must    go�察 �And 

whispered�察�she we loved was dead。 He bade me kiss her face once more�察�

Then led me sobbing to the door。 I scarcely knew what dying meant�察�Yet a 

strange grief�察�before unknown�察�Weighed on my spirit as we went And left 

her lying all alone。 

     We   went   to   the   far   North   once   more�察  �To   seek   the   well´remembered
