My lips do need thy breathB
My lips do need thy smileC
And my pallid eyne that light in thineD
Which met the stars erewhileC
Yet go with light and lifeE
If that thou lovest oneF
In all the earth who loveth theeG
As truly as the sunF

But better loveth heG
Thy chaliced wine than thy chanted songI
And better both than theeG

We brake no gold a signD
Of stronger faith to beG
But I wear his last look in my soulC
Which said I love but theeG

-
A knight's bloodhound and heG
The funeral watch did keepJ
With a thought o' the chase he stroked its faceA
As it howled to see him weepJ
A fair child kissed the deadK
But shrank before its coldL
And alone yet proudly in his hallC
Did stand a baron of oldL
