A Tale of Mona: And other poems. By Louisa Stuart Costello
 

expand section

With woe is Ivan's bosom fraught,
Fled are the joys he fondly thought
Would bless his long delay'd return,
And bid him, henceforth cease to mourn:
Ere long the voice of mourning friends
O'er weeping Mona's isle extends;
He yields to fate's resistless doom,
And kneels beside a mother's tomb!
