CCLXV. "A widow bird sate mourning for her Love"

A WIDOW bird sate mourning for her Love
Upon a wintry bough;
The frozen wind crept on above,
The freezing stream below.

There was no leaf upon the forest bare.	5
No flower upon the ground,
And little motion in the air
Except the mill-wheel's sound.
