The Blind Girl of Castel-Cuille.

  Decked with flowers a simple hearse  To the church-yard forth they bear;  Village girls in robes of snow  Follow, weeping as they go;  Nowhere was a smile that day,No, ah no! for each one seemed to say:—
“ The roads should mourn and be veiled in gloom,So fair a corpse shall leave its home!Should mourn and should weep, ah, well-away!So fair a corpse shall pass to-day!”
