Poesy

Song

Fierce roars the midnight stormO'er the wild mountain,Dark clouds the night deform,Swift rolls the fountain--

See! o'er yon rocky height,Dim mists are flying--See by the moon's pale light,Poor Laura's dying!

Shame and remorse shall howl,By her false pillow--Fiercer than storms that roll,O'er the white billow;

No hand her eyes to close,When life is flying,But she will find repose,For Laura's dying!

Then will I seek my love,Then will I cheer her,Then my esteem will prove,When no friend is near her.

On her grave I will lie,When life is parted,On her grave I will die,For the false hearted.
