Mistress of Acadia (longfellow)

Fixed on the trail and following
Through swamp and plain and ridge
The pretty young Evangeline
Engaged for marriage.
Her stalwart, loving Beloved
Evicted by the Brits
From Fundy’s shore
To rich folklore
Acadians in fits
Of vengeance, long and pining.
Now did she find her man?
A plague hit Philadelphia.
One nurse maid grasped his hand.
So Love had done the gambit
From amorous to serve.
Sweet dear had found her heart’s wish.
In time to calm his nerve.
