And mournfully at noon she rocked
The baby on her knee;
"There is no pity in their hearts,
My child, for thee and me.

"There was no pity in their hearts
For him who is at rest:
How should they feel for his young son
Who slumbers at my breast?"

The red-haired brother saw her tears,
And said, "Nay, cease thy moan -
Come forth into the morning air,
And weep. no more alone!"

The proud stepmother chid her woe; -
"Even for thy infant's sake
Go forth into the morning air,
And sail upon the lake!"
