The chestnut steed stood by the gate | B |
His noble master's will to wait | B |
The woody park so green and bright | C |
Was glowing in the morning light | C |
The young leaves of the aspen trees | D |
Were dancing in the morning breeze | D |
The palace door was open wide | E |
Its lord was standing there | F |
And his sweet lady by his side | E |
With soft dark eyes and raven hair | F |
He smiling took her wary hand | G |
And said 'No longer here I stand | G |
My charger shakes his flowing mane | H |
And calls me with impatient neigh | I |
Adieu then till we meet again | J |
Sweet love I must no longer stay ' | - |
- | |
- | |
- | |
'You must not go so soon ' she said | K |
'I will not say farewell | L |
The sun has not dispelled the shade | M |
In yonder dewy dell | L |
Dark shadows of gigantic length | N |
Are sleeping on the lawn | O |
And scarcely have the birds begun | P |
To hail the summer morn | Q |
Then stay with me a little while ' | - |
She said with soft and sunny smile | R |
- | |
- | |
- | |
He smiled again and did not speak | S |
But lightly kissed her rosy cheek | S |
And fondly clasped her in his arms | T |
Then vaulted on his steed | U |
And down the park's smooth winding road | V |
He urged its flying speed | U |
Still by the door his lady stood | W |
And watched his rapid flight | C |
Until he came to a distant wood | W |
That hid him from her sight | C |
But ere he vanished from her view | I |
He waved to her a last adieu | I |
Then onward hastily he steered | X |
And in the forest disappeared | X |
- | |
- | |
- | |
The lady smiled a pensive smile | R |
And heaved a gently sigh | I |
But her cheek was all unblanched the while | R |
And tearless was her eye | I |
'A thousand lovely flowers ' she said | K |
'Are smiling on the plain | H |
And ere one half of them are dead | K |
My lord will come again | J |
The leaves are waving fresh and green | Y |
On every stately tree | Z |
And long before they die away | A2 |
He will return to me ' | - |
Alas Fair lady say not so | B2 |
Thou canst not tell the weight of woe | B2 |
That lies in store for thee | Z |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Those flowers will fade those leaves will fall | C2 |
Winter will darken yonder hall | C2 |
Sweet spring will smile o'er hill and plain | H |
And trees and flowers will bloom again | J |
And years will still keep rolling on | D2 |
But thy beloved lord is gone | O |
His absence thou shalt deeply mourn | Q |
And never smile on his return | E2 |
