Paler than the water's white Stood the maiden in the shade, And more silent than the night Were her lips together laid; Eyes she hid so long and still By lids wet with unshed tears, Hands she loosely clasped at will, Though her heart was full of fears. Never, never, never more May her soul with joy be moved; Silent, silent, silent,—for He was silent whom she loved.
