That the anguish of the exile marked her virgin features fair? Think you, that her soul was riven with a wild, o'ermastering fright? That her thoughts were tempest driven, as the leaves by storm-wind's might? No! ah, no! beneath her mantle, to her bosom closely press'd, Lay the Holy Infant Jesus, sleeping sweetly on her breast.
