My Maiden She Proved False To Me; To Hate All Joys I Soon Began, Then To A Flowing Stream I Ran, The Stream Ran Past Me Hastily. There Stood I Fix'D, In Mute Despair; My Head Swam Round As In A Dream; I Well-Nigh Fell Into The Stream, And Earth Seem'D With Me Whirling There. Sudden I Heard A Voice That Cried I Had Just Turn'D My Face From Thence It Was A Voice To Charm Each Sense: "Beware, For Deep Is Yonder Tide!" A Thrill My Blood Pervaded Now, I Look'D And Saw A Beauteous Maid I Asked Her Name Twas Kate, She Said "Oh Lovely Kate! How Kind Art Thou! "From Death I Have Been Sav'D By Thee, 'Tis Through Thee Only That I Live; Little 'Twere Life Alone To Give, My Joy In Life Then Deign To Be!" And Then I Told My Sorrows O'Er, Her Eyes To Earth She Sweetly Threw; I Kiss'D Her, And She Kiss'D Me Too, And Then I Talked Of Death No More.
