The Moorish maid at the lattice stands, the Moor stands at his door; One maid is wringing of her hands, and one is weeping sore; Down to the dust men bow their heads, and ashes black they strew Upon their broidered garments, of crimson, green, and blue; Before each gate the bier stands still, then bursts the loud bewailing, From door and lattice high and low--“Alas! alas for Celin!”
An old, old woman cometh forth, when she hears the people cry-- Her hair is white as silver, like horn her glazing eye: ’Twas she that nursed him at her breast--that nursed him long ago; She knows not whom they all lament, but soon she well shall know! With one deep shriek, she thro’ doth break, when her ears receive their wailing, “Let me kiss my Celin ere I die.--Alas! alas for Celin!”
