In her dark-ringed eyes shone the sad unrest
That spoke in the heave of her troubled breast,
And her face was white as the chiselled stone,
And her lips pressed madly against my own,

Conduct them to the foe.

And wicked children too -
This pretty ballad is designed
Especially for you.

As still the lengthening shadows steal toward the rayless night.
