She bore it till the simple veins Traced azure on her hand -- Til pleading, round her quiet eyes The purple Crayons stand. Till Daffodils had come and gone I cannot tell the sum, And then she ceased to bear it -- And with the Saints sat down. No more her patient figure At twilight soft to meet -- No more her timid bonnet Upon the village street -- But Crowns instead, and Courtiers -- And in the midst so fair, Whose but her shy -- immortal face Of whom we're whispering here?

Sie trug es, bis die Adern ihr blau traten aus der Hand, bis gramvoll um ihr stilles Aug ein dunkler Schatten stand. Bis, weiß nicht wie oft, Lenz um Lenz erblühte, wieder ging, sie ’s nicht mehr trug und sich begab zur Schar der Heilgen hin. Nicht länger sieht im Dämmer man tief gebeugt sie gehn nie mehr ihr zages Häubchen auf Straß’ und Platz zu sehn. Stattdessen Kron und Adel - in ihrer Mitt als Zier die scheue Unvergessene, die hoch wir achten hier.
