        The Forsaken.

   A las! ye woods, ye gloomy woods!
      Ye woods of Miletin!
   In summer and winter too
      Why are ye ever green?

   Right glad were I did I not weep,
      And my poor heart torment,
   But, O good people, tell to me,
      Who would not thus lament?

   Where, where's my father, father dear?
      He in the grave is low;
   Where, where's my mother, mother good?
      O'er her the grass doth grow:
   Brothers and sisters none remain,
   My lover they away have ta'en.
