Eveleen's Bower.

Oh! weep for the hour,             When to Eveleen's bower     The Lord of the Valley with false vows came;             The moon hid her light             From the heavens that night.     And wept behind her clouds o'er the maiden's shame.             The clouds past soon             From the chaste cold moon,     And heaven smiled again with her vestal flame:             But none will see the day,             When the clouds shall pass away,     Which that dark hour left upon Eveleen's fame.             The white snow lay             On the narrow path-way,     When the Lord of the Valley crost over the moor;             And many a deep print             On the white snow's tint     Showed the track of his footstep to Eveleen's door.             The next sun's ray             Soon melted away     Every trace on the path where the false Lord came;             But there's a light above,             Which alone can remove     That stain upon the snow of fair Eveleen's fame.
