There seemed some feeling for her state;
Their words were fair and mild;
Yet she shuddered as she whispered low,
"God shield me and my child!"

"Come!" said dead Allan's brother stern,
"Why dost thou tremble so?
"Come!" - and with doubt and fear perplexed,
The lady rose to go.

They glided over the glassy lake,
'Till its lulling murmur smote,
With a death-like omen, to and fro',
Against the heaving boat.

And no one spoke; - that brother still
His face averted kept,
And the lady's tears fell fast and free
O'er her infant as it slept.
