Marta of Milrone
I shot him where the Rio flows;
I shot him when the moon arose;
And where he lies the vulture knows
Along the Tinto River.
But where she lies to none is known
Save to my poor heart and a lonely stone
On which I sit and weep alone
Where the cactus stars are white.
Where I shall lie, no man can say;
The flowers all are fallen away;
The desert is so drear and grey,
0 Marta of Milrone!
Herman Schefauer.
