Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCC DDDB EEEB FFFB FFFB GHHB DDIB J| A gay young knight in Burley stood | A |
| Beside him pawed his steed so good | A |
| His hands he wrung as he were wood | A |
| With waiting for his love O | B |
| - | |
| 'Oh will she come or will she stay | C |
| Or will she waste the weary day | C |
| With fools who wish her far away | C |
| And hate her for her love O ' | - |
| - | |
| But by there came a mighty boar | D |
| His jowl and tushes red with gore | D |
| And on his curled snout he bore | D |
| A bracelet rich and rare O | B |
| - | |
| The knight he shrieked he ran he flew | E |
| He searched the wild wood through and through | E |
| But found nought save a mantle blue | E |
| Low rolled within the brake O | B |
| - | |
| He twined the wild briar red and white | F |
| Upon his head the garland dight | F |
| The green leaves withered black as night | F |
| And burnt into his brain O | B |
| - | |
| A fire blazed up within his breast | F |
| He mounted on an aimless quest | F |
| He laid his virgin lance in rest | F |
| And through the forest drove O | B |
| - | |
| By Rhinefield and by Osmondsleigh | G |
| Through leat and furze brake fast drove he | H |
| Until he saw the homeless sea | H |
| That called with all its waves O | B |
| - | |
| He laughed aloud to hear the roar | D |
| And rushed his horse adown the shore | D |
| The deep surge rolled him o'er and o'er | I |
| And swept him down the tide O | B |
| - | |
