She drove him away, with no word of love,
Though he’d wooed her many days,
And she knew that his heart was all her own,
Yet, she coldly drove him away.

She drove him away, with his pleading eyes,
And cared not look, nor tone,
But chained down her heart, when it struggled to rise
In response, to the love in his own

But when he had gone far, far from her side,
She found, -a regrettable day! –
That her heart had broken the chain of pride,
And followed her lover away
