 | The Poems of Winthrop Mackworth Praed |  |
E'en when a realm's congratulation
Sang Pæans for the Coronation,
Amidst the pleasure that was round me,
A melancholy Spirit found me;
And while all else were singing “Io!”
I couldn't speak a word but “Heigh-ho!”
And so, instead of laughing gaily,
I dropped a tear,—and wrote my “Vale.”
