I cannot tell how this may be: + 

But plain it is, the Thorn is bound + 

With heavy tufts of moss, that strive + 

To drag it to the ground. + 

And this I know, full many a time, + 

When she was on the mountain high, + 

By day, and in the silent night, + 

When all the stars shone clear and bright, + 

That I have heard her cry, + 

“Oh misery! oh misery! + 

Oh woe is me! oh misery!” + 
