The chestnut steed stood by the gateB
His noble master's will to waitB
The woody park so green and brightC
Was glowing in the morning lightC
The young leaves of the aspen treesD
Were dancing in the morning breezeD
The palace door was open wideE
Its lord was standing thereF
And his sweet lady by his sideE
With soft dark eyes and raven hairF
He smiling took her wary handG
And said 'No longer here I standG
My charger shakes his flowing maneH
And calls me with impatient neighI
Adieu then till we meet againJ
Sweet love I must no longer stay '-
-
-
-
'You must not go so soon ' she saidK
'I will not say farewellL
The sun has not dispelled the shadeM
In yonder dewy dellL
Dark shadows of gigantic lengthN
Are sleeping on the lawnO
And scarcely have the birds begunP
To hail the summer mornQ
Then stay with me a little while '-
She said with soft and sunny smileR
-
-
-
He smiled again and did not speakS
But lightly kissed her rosy cheekS
And fondly clasped her in his armsT
Then vaulted on his steedU
And down the park's smooth winding roadV
He urged its flying speedU
Still by the door his lady stoodW
And watched his rapid flightC
Until he came to a distant woodW
That hid him from her sightC
But ere he vanished from her viewI
He waved to her a last adieuI
Then onward hastily he steeredX
And in the forest disappearedX
-
-
-
The lady smiled a pensive smileR
And heaved a gently sighI
But her cheek was all unblanched the whileR
And tearless was her eyeI
'A thousand lovely flowers ' she saidK
'Are smiling on the plainH
And ere one half of them are deadK
My lord will come againJ
The leaves are waving fresh and greenY
On every stately treeZ
And long before they die awayA2
He will return to me '-
Alas Fair lady say not soB2
Thou canst not tell the weight of woeB2
That lies in store for theeZ
-
-
-
Those flowers will fade those leaves will fallC2
Winter will darken yonder hallC2
Sweet spring will smile o'er hill and plainH
And trees and flowers will bloom againJ
And years will still keep rolling onD2
But thy beloved lord is goneO
His absence thou shalt deeply mournQ
And never smile on his returnE2
