That her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale.
She said there is no reason and the truth is plain to see.

And although my eyes were open
they might jet as well have been closed.
And so it was that later as the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly turned a whiter shade of pale...
