I Can love thee well believe me	A
As a sister true	B
Other love Sir Knight would grieve me	A
Sore my heart would rue	B
Calmly would I see thee going	C
Calmly too appear	D
For those tears in silence flowing	C
Find no answer here	E
	-
Thus she speaks he hears her sadly	A
How his heartstrings bleed	F
In his arms he clasps her madly	A
Then he mounts his steed	F
From the Switzer land collects he	A
All his warriors brave	G
Cross on breast their course directs he	A
To the Holy Grave	G
	-
In triumphant march advancing	C
Onward moves the host	H
While their morion plumes are dancing	C
Where the foes are most	H
Mortal terror strikes the Paynim	A
At the chieftain's name	A
But the knight's sad thoughts enchain him	A
Grief consumes his frame	A
	-
Twelve long months with courage daring	C
Peace he strives to find	I
Then at last of rest despairing	C
Leaves the host behind	I
Sees a ship whose sails are swelling	C
Lie on Joppa's strand	J
Ships him homeward for her dwelling	C
In his own loved land	J
	-
Now behold the pilgrim weary	A
At her castle gate	K
But alas these accents dreary	A
Seal his mournful fate	K
She thou seek'st her troth hath plighted	K
To all gracious heaven	L
To her God she was united	K
Yesterday at even	M
	-
To his father's home forever	N
Bids he now adieu	K
Sees no more his arms and beaver	N
Nor his steed so true	K
Then descends he sadly slowly	A
None suspect the sight	K
For a garb of penance lowly	A
Wears the noble knight	K
	-
Soon he now the tempest braving	C
Builds an humble shed	K
Where o'er the lime trees darkly waving	C
Peeps the convent's head	K
From the orb of day's first gleaming	C
Till his race has run	L
Hope in every feature beaming	C
There he sits alone	O
	-
Toward the convent straining ever	N
His unwearied eyes	P
From her casement looking never	N
Till it open flies	P
Till the loved one soft advancing	C
Shows her gentle face	Q
O'er the vale her sweet eye glancing	C
Full of angel grace	Q
	-
Then he seeks his bed of rushes	R
Stilled all grief and pain	S
Slumbering calm till morning's blushes	R
Waken life again	T
Days and years fleet on yet never	N
Breathes he plaint or sighs	P
On her casement gazing ever	N
Till it open flies	P
	-
Till the loved one soft advancing	C
Shows her gentle face	Q
O'er the vale her sweet eyes glancing	C
Full of angel grace	Q
But at length the morn returning	C
Finds him dead and chill	U
Pale and wan his gaze with yearning	C
Seeks her casement still	U
