lone-ly Cottage dwèlling.Oft remember'd with a tear, Wïth falt'rinç

voice his sig-hs re - pelling* , Edward own'd his love sin-cere ,

But I was vain and flush'd with beauty, He was

poor' and humbly born # I coldly pleaded filial duty, Treating*

With trembling* steps and brokeu hearted,

Edward left his native plain ♦ From that sad day ail joy departed ,

Never to return a g* a in .

For he o'erwhelm'd with hopeless sorrow,

Frantic to the battle sped ; The foe repuis *d — but on the morrow,

Edward slumber'd with the dead .
