    She finds the baseness of her lot,
    Half jealous of she knows not what,
And envying all that meet him there.

In that dark house where she was born.

The foolish neighbours come and go,
    And tease her till the day draws by:
    At night she weeps, ‘How vain am I!
How should he love a thing so low?’
