| - | |
| At fierce Sidero's word the thralls drew near | D |
| And shore the locks of Tyro like ripe corn | E |
| They fell in golden harvest but forlorn | E |
| The maiden shuddered in her pain and fear | D |
| Like some wild mare that cruel grooms in scorn | E |
| Hunt in the meadows and her mane they sheer | D |
| And drive her where within the waters clear | D |
| She spies her shadow and her shame doth mourn | E |
| - | |
| Ah hard were he and pitiless of heart | F |
| Who marking that wild thing made weak and tame | G |
| Broken and grieving for her glory gone | H |
| Could mock her grief but scornfully apart | F |
| Sidero stood and watched a wind that came | G |
| And tossed the curls like fire that flew and shone | I |
