Theodosia Garrison

Her hair is yellow as the corn, Her eyes are bluer than the sky; Behind the casement yester-morn, I watched her passing by.

My son not yet had broken bread, Yet from the table did he rise, She said no word nor turned her head, What then the spell that bade him stir,

Nor heeding any word I said, Put by my hands and follow her.
