Oh, a ring’s easy found ’Mid the guests standing round! And a borrowed ring served on that strange marriage-day: But when spoke was the oath That united them both, She looked on the ring, and she fainted away. ’Twas a ring with a tomb And a legend of gloom, And she wist that to death she was wedded that day. They cheered her amain; But, alas, ’twas in vain! And she drooped and she died ere a year was away. JETTY VOGEL.
