IX.

I cannot tell; I wish I could;

For the true reason no one knows,

But if you'd gladly view the spot,

The spot to which she goes;

The heap that's like an infant's grave,

The pond--and thorn, so old and grey.

Pass by her door--tis seldom shut--

And if you see her in her hut,

Then to the spot away!--

I never heard of such as dare

Approach the spot when she is there.
