IMITATED FROM THE LENOR^ OF BURGER. From heavy dreams fair Helen rose, And eyed the dawning red: Alas, my love, thou tarriest long ! O art thou false or dead ? With gallant Fredericks princely powerHe sought the bold Crusade, But not a word from Judahs warsTold Helen how he sped.

And old and young, and sire and meet them crowd the way, With shouts and mirth and debt of love to pay. Full many a maid her true-love met. And sobbed in his fluttering joy in tears and smiles Arrayed full many a face. Nor joy nor smile for Helen sad,She sought the host in vain; For none could tell her Williams faithless or if slain.
