On the Banks of the Dee
By AnonymousT
That rises o’er the banks of Dee,
And from her farthest summit poured
Her silver light o’er tower and tree,
Her thoughts on Sandy far at sea,
And soft and low a voice she heard,
Saying, “Mary, weep no more for me.”
Her head, to see who there might be;
She saw young Sandy shivering stand,
With pallid cheek and hollow ee.
It lies beneath the stormy sea;
The storm is past, and I ’m at rest;
So, Mary, weep no more for me.”
No more young Sandy could she see;
But soft a parting whisper said,
“Sweet Mary, weep no more for me.”
