The Troubadour o'er many a plain	A
Hath roamed unwearied but in vain	A
O'er many a rugged mountain scene	B
And forest wild his track hath been	C
Beneath Calabria's glowing sky	D
He hath sung the songs of chivalry	E
His voice hath swelled on the Alpine breeze	F
And wrung through the snowy Pyrenees	F
From Ebro's banks to Danube's wave	G
He hath sought his prince the loved the brave	G
And yet if still on earth thou art	H
Oh monarch of the lion heart	H
The faithful spirit which distress	I
But heightens to devotedness	I
By toil and trial vanquished not	J
Shall guide thy minstrel to the spot	J
	-
He hath reached a mountain hung with vine	K
And woods that wave o'er the lovely Rhine	K
The feudal towers that crest its height	L
Frown in unconquerable might	L
Dark is their aspect of sullen state	M
No helmet hangs o'er the massy gate	M
To bid the wearied pilgrim rest	N
At the chieftain's board a welcome guest	N
Vainly rich evening's parting smile	O
Would chase the gloom of the haughty pile	O
That 'midst bright sunshine lowers on high	D
Like a thunder cloud in a summer sky	D
	-
Not these the halls where a child of song	P
Awhile may speed the hours along	P
Their echoes should repeat alone	Q
The tyrant's mandate the prisoner's moan	Q
Or the wild huntsman's bugle blast	R
When his phantom train are hurrying past	R
The weary minstrel paused his eye	D
Roved o'er the scene despondingly	O
Within the lengthening shadow cast	R
By the fortress towers and ramparts vast	R
Lingering he gazed The rocks around	S
Sublime in savage grandeur frowned	S
Proud guardians of the regal flood	T
In giant strength the mountains stood	U
By torrents cleft by tempests riven	V
Yet mingling still with the calm blue heaven	V
Their peaks were bright with a sunny glow	O
But the Rhine all shadowy rolled below	O
In purple tints the vineyards smiled	W
But the woods beyond waved dark and wild	W
Nor pastoral pipe nor convent's bell	O
Was heard on the sighing breeze to swell	O
But all was lonely silent rude	X
A stern yet glorious solitude	X
	-
But hark that solemn stillness breaking	Y
The Troubadour's wild song is waking	Y
Full oft that song in days gone by	D
Hath cheered the sons of chivalry	E
It hath swelled o'er Judah's mountains lone	Q
Hermon thy echoes have learned its tone	Q
On the Great Plain its notes have rung	Z
The leagued Crusaders' tents among	Z
'Twas loved by the Lion heart who won	V
The palm in the field of Ascalon	V
And now afar o'er the rocks of Rhine	V
Peals the bold strain of Palestine	V
	-
	-
The Troubadour's Song	P
'Thine hour is come and the stake is set '	-
The Soldan cried to the captive knight	L
'And the sons of the Prophet in throngs are met	A2
To gaze on the fearful sight	L
	-
'But be our faith by thy lips professed	N
The faith of Mecca's shrine	V
Cast down the red cross that marks thy vest	N
And life shall yet be thine '	-
	-
'I have seen the flow of my bosom's blood	T
And gazed with undaunted eye	D
I have borne the bright cross through fire and flood	T
And think'st thou I fear to die	D
	-
'I have stood where thousands by Salem's towers	I
Have fallen for the name Divine	V
And the faith that cheered	B2
their	C2
closing hours	I
Shall be the light of mine '	-
	-
'Thus wilt thou die in the pride of health	D2
And the glow of youth's fresh bloom	E2
Thou art offered life and pomp and wealth	D2
Or torture and the tomb '	-
	-
'I have been where the crown of thorns was twined	F2
For a dying Saviour's brow	G2
	-
He	E
spurned the treasures that lure mankind	F2
And I reject them now '	-
	-
'Art thou the son of a noble line	V
In a land that is fair and blest	N
And doth not thy spirit proud captive pine	V
Again on its shores to rest	N
	-
'Thine own is the choice to hail once more	H2
The soil of thy father's birth	I2
Or to sleep when thy lingering pangs are o'er	J2
Forgotten in foreign earth '	-
	-
'Oh fair are the vine clad hills that rise	I
In the country of my love	K2
But yet though cloudless my native skies	I
There's a brighter clime above '	-
	-
The bard hath paused for another tone	V
Blends with the music of his own	V
And his heart beats high with hope again	V
As a well known voice prolongs the strain	V
	-
'Are there none within thy father's hall	O
Far o'er the wide blue main	V
Young Christian left to deplore thy fall	O
With sorrow deep and vain '	-
	-
'There are hearts that still through all the past	R
Unchanging have loved me well	O
There are eyes whose tears were streaming fast	R
When I bade my home farewell	O
	-
Better they wept o'er the warrior's bier	L2
Than the apostate's living stain	V
There's a land where those who loved when here	L2
Shall meet to love again '	-
	-
'Tis he thy prince long sought long lost	M2
The leader of the red cross host	N2
'Tis he to none thy joy betray	O2
Young Troubadour away away	O2
Away to the island of the brave	G
The gem on the bosom of the wave	G
Arouse the sons of the noble soil	O
To win their Lion from the toil	O
And free the wassail cup shall flow	O
Bright in each hall the hearth shall glow	O
The festal board shall be richly crowned	S
While knights and chieftains revel round	S
And a thousand harps with joy shall ring	Y
When merry England hails her king	Y
