THE STORY BEHIND THIS PAINTING
“There is a willow grows aslant a brook,
That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.
There with fantastic garlands did she come
Of crowflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples…
There on the pendent boughs, her coronet weeds
Clambering to hand an envious sliver broke,
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide
And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up;
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes,
As one incapable of her own distress…
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull’d the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.”
