In mail of black my limbs I girtB
AngelicaC
And when the bugles clanged the chargeD
The rolling battle's bristling margeD
Beheld me a black storm of warE
Dash on the foeF
While Durindana glitt'ring farG
Made many a foeman mouth the dirtB
In bleeding woeF
For thou didst fire me to the warE
'Mid many a Paynim scimetarE

No more the battle fires my bloodH
AngelicaC
No more gay lists flaunt all their guilesI
And chivalry's charge and beauty's smilesI
I wander lone the thistly woldJ
When night snows fallK
And crispy frosts the wild grass holdJ
Great knights go glimmering thro' the woodL
The clarion's callK
Wakes War upon his desert woldJ
I see the dawning breaking coldJ

When Southern winds sowed all the skiesM
AngelicaC
With bloom storms of the flowering MayN
When all the battle field was gayN
With scented garb of sainted flowersO
I found a streamP
Cold as thy heart to paramoursO
Deep as the depth of thy blue eyesO
And like a dreamP
I found a grotto 'mid the flowersO
Cool 'mid the sunlight sprinkled bowersO

My casque I dofft to scoop the fountJ
AngelicaC
With beaded pureness bubbling coolQ
It clashed into the purling poolQ
Thy name lay chiseled in the rockR
And underneathS
And then meseemed deep night did blockR
My steel chained heart in one huge mountJ
Foreshadowing deathT
Medoro deep in every rockR
The Moorish name my soul did mockR

No more wild war my veins ensteepsO
AngelicaC
No more gay lists flaunt all their guilesO
White wastes before me miles on milesO
With one low ruby sunset boundJ
Thou fleest beforeE
I follow on a far off soundJ
Of oceans gnawing at dark steepsO
Swells to a roarE
'Mid foam thou smil'st I spurn the groundJ
I sink I swim waves hiss aroundJ
Oh could I sink 'neath the profoundJ
And think of thee no moreE
