Midways of a wall d garden	A
In the happy poplar land	B
Did an ancient castle stand	B
With an old knight for a warden	A
	-
Many scarlet bricks there were	C
In its walls and old grey stone	D
Over which red apples shone	D
At the right time of the year	E
	-
On the bricks the green moss grew	F
Yellow lichen on the stone	D
Over which red apples shone	D
Little war that castle knew	F
	-
Deep green water fill'd the moat	G
Each side had a red brick lip	H
Green and mossy with the drip	H
Of dew and rain there was a boat	G
	-
Of carven wood with hangings green	I
About the stern it was great bliss	J
For lovers to sit there and kiss	J
In the hot summer noons not seen	I
	-
Across the moat the fresh west wind	K
In very little ripples went	L
The way the heavy aspens bent	L
Towards it was a thing to mind	K
	-
The painted drawbridge over it	M
Went up and down with gilded chains	N
'Twas pleasant in the summer rains	N
Within the bridge house there to sit	M
	-
There were five swans that ne'er did eat	O
The water weeds for ladies came	P
Each day and young knights did the same	P
And gave them cakes and bread for meat	O
	-
They had a house of painted wood	Q
A red roof gold spiked over it	M
Wherein upon their eggs to sit	M
Week after week no drop of blood	R
	-
Drawn from men's bodies by sword blows	S
Came ever there or any tear	T
Most certainly from year to year	E
'Twas pleasant as a Provence rose	S
	-
The banners seem'd quite full of ease	U
That over the turret roofs hung down	V
The battlements could get no frown	V
From the flower moulded cornices	U
	-
Who walked in that garden there	T
Miles and Giles and Isabeau	W
Tall Jehane du Castel beau	W
Alice of the golden hair	T
	-
Big Sir Gervaise the good knight	X
Fair Ellayne le Violet	M
Mary Constance fille de fay	Y
Many dames with footfall light	X
	-
Whosoever wander'd there	T
Whether it be dame or knight	X
Half of scarlet half of white	X
Their raiment was of roses fair	T
	-
Each wore a garland on the head	Z
At Ladies' Gard the way was so	W
Fair Jehane du Castel beau	W
Wore her wreath till it was dead	Z
	-
Little joy she had of it	M
Of the raiment white and red	Z
Or the garland on her head	Z
She had none with whom to sit	M
	-
In the carven boat at noon	A2
None the more did Jehane weep	B2
She would only stand and keep	B2
Saying He will be here soon	A2
	-
Many times in the long day	Y
Miles and Giles and Gervaise passed	C2
Holding each some white hand fast	C2
Every time they heard her say	Y
	-
Summer cometh to an end	D2
Undern cometh after noon	A2
Golden wings will be here soon	A2
What if I some token send	D2
	-
Wherefore that night within the hall	E2
With open mouth and open eyes	U
Like some one listening with surprise	U
She sat before the sight of all	E2
	-
Stoop'd down a little she sat there	T
With neck stretch'd out and chin thrown up	F2
One hand around a golden cup	F2
And strangely with her fingers fair	T
	-
She beat some tune upon the gold	G2
The minstrels in the gallery	H2
Sung Arthur who will never die	I2
In Avallon he groweth old	G2
	-
And when the song was ended she	H2
Rose and caught up her gown and ran	J2
None stopp'd her eager face and wan	K2
Of all that pleasant company	H2
	-
Right so within her own chamber	C
Upon her bed she sat and drew	F
Her breath in quick gasps till she knew	F
That no man follow'd after her	C
	-
She took the garland from her head	Z
Loosed all her hair and let it lie	I2
Upon the coverlet thereby	I2
She laid the gown of white and red	Z
	-
And she took off her scarlet shoon	F
And bared her feet still more and more	L2
Her sweet face redden'd evermore	L2
She murmur'd He will be here soon	F
	-
Truly he cannot fail to know	F
My tender body waits him here	M2
And if he knows I have no fear	E
For poor Jehane du Castel beau	F
	-
She took a sword within her hand	B
Whose hilts were silver and she sung	N2
Somehow like this wild words that rung	N2
A long way over the moonlit land	B
	-
Gold wings across the sea	H2
Grey light from tree to tree	H2
Gold hair beside my knee	H2
I pray thee come to me	H2
Gold wings	U
	-
The water slips	U
The red bill'd moorhen dips	U
Sweet kisses on red lips	U
Alas the red rust grips	U
And the blood red dagger rips	U
Yet O knight come to me	H2
	-
Are not my blue eyes sweet	O
The west wind from the wheat	O
Blows cold across my feet	O
Is it not time to meet	O
Gold wings across the sea	H2
	-
White swans on the green moat	G
Small feathers left afloat	G
By the blue painted boat	G
Swift running of the stoat	G
Sweet gurgling note by note	G
Of sweet music	O2
	-
O gold wings	U
Listen how gold hair sings	U
And the Ladies Castle rings	U
Gold wings across the sea	H2
	-
I sit on a purple bed	G
Outside the wall is red	G
Thereby the apple hangs	U
And the wasp caught by the fangs	U
	-
Dies in the autumn night	G
And the bat flits till light	G
And the love craz d knight	G
	-
Kisses the long wet grass	U
The weary days pass	U
Gold wings across the sea	H2
	-
Gold wings across the sea	H2
Moonlight from tree to tree	H2
Sweet hair laid on my knee	H2
O sweet knight come to me	H2
	-
Gold wings the short night slips	U
The white swan's long neck drips	U
I pray thee kiss my lips	U
Gold wings across the sea	H2
	-
No answer through the moonlit night	G
No answer in the cold grey dawn	F
No answer when the shaven lawn	F
Grew green and all the roses bright	G
	-
Her tired feet look'd cold and thin	F
Her lips were twitch'd and wretched tears	U
Some as she lay roll'd past her ears	U
Some fell from off her quivering chin	F
	-
Her long throat stretched to its full length	P2
Rose up and fell right brokenly	I2
As though the unhappy heart was nigh	I2
Striving to break with all its strength	P2
	-
And when she slipp'd from off the bed	G
Her cramp'd feet would not hold her she	H2
Sank down and crept on hand and knee	H2
On the window sill she laid her head	G
	-
There with crooked arm upon the sill	I2
She look'd out muttering dismally	H2
There is no sail upon the sea	H2
No pennon on the empty hill	I2
	-
I cannot stay here all alone	F
Or meet their happy faces here	M2
And wretchedly I have no fear	E
A little while and I am gone	F
	-
Therewith she rose upon her feet	G
And totter'd cold and misery	H2
Still made the deep sobs come till she	H2
At last stretch'd out her fingers sweet	G
	-
And caught the great sword in her hand	G
And stealing down the silent stair	T
Barefooted in the morning air	T
And only in her smock did stand	G
	-
Upright upon the green lawn grass	U
And hope grew in her as she said	G
I have thrown off the white and red	G
And pray God it may come to pass	U
	-
I meet him if ten years go by	I2
Before I meet him if indeed	G
Meanwhile both soul and body bleed	G
Yet there is end of misery	H2
	-
And I have hope He could not come	Q2
But I can go to him and show	F
These new things I have got to know	F
And make him speak who has been dumb	Q2
	-
O Jehane the red morning sun	F
Changed her white feet to glowing gold	G
Upon her smock on crease and fold	G
Changed that to gold which had been dun	F
	-
O Miles and Giles and Isabeau	I2
Fair Ellayne le Violet	G
Mary Constance fille de fay	Y
Where is Jehane du Castel beau	I2
	-
O big Gervaise ride apace	U
Down to the hard yellow sand	G
Where the water meets the land	G
This is Jehane by her face	U
	-
Why has she a broken sword	G
Mary she is slain outright	G
Verily a piteous sight	G
Take her up without a word	G
	-
Giles and Miles and Gervaise there	T
Ladies' Gard must meet the war	L2
Whatsoever knights these are	R2
Man the walls withouten fear	E
	-
Axes to the apple trees	U
Axes to the aspens tall	I2
Barriers without the wall	I2
May be lightly made of these	U
	-
O poor shivering Isabeau	I2
Poor Ellayne le Violet	G
Bent with fear we miss to day	Y
Brave Jehane du Castel beau	I2
	-
O poor Mary weeping so	I2
Wretched Constance fille de fay	Y
Verily we miss to day	Y
Fair Jehane du Castel beau	I2
	-
The apples now grow green and sour	C
Upon the mouldering castle wall	I2
Before they ripen there they fall	I2
There are no banners on the tower	C
	-
The draggled swans most eagerly eat	G
The green weeds trailing in the moat	G
Inside the rotting leaky boat	G
You see a slain man's stiffen'd feet	G
