There met three knights on the woodland way	A
And the first was clad in silk array	A
The second was dight in iron and steel	B
But the third was rags from head to heel	B
Lo now is the year and the day come round	C
When we must tell what we have found	C
The first said I have found a king	D
Who grudgeth no gift of anything	D
The second said I have found a knight	E
Who hath never turned his back in fight	E
But the third said I have found a love	F
That Time and the World shall never move	G
	-
Whither away to win good cheer	H
With me said the first for my king is near	H
So to the King they went their ways	I
But there was a change of times and days	I
What men are ye the great King said	J
That ye should eat my children s bread	J
My waste has fed full many a store	K
And mocking and grudge have I gained therefore	K
Whatever waneth as days wax old	L
Full worthy to win are goods and gold	L
	-
Whither away to win good cheer	H
With me said the second my knight is near	H
So to the knight they went their ways	I
But there was a change of times and days	I
He dwelt in castle sure and strong	M
For fear lest aught should do him wrong	M
Guards by gate and hall there were	N
And folk went in and out in fear	H
When he heard the mouse run in the wall	O
Hist he said what next shall befal	O
Draw not near speak under your breath	P
For all new corners tell of death	P
Bring me no song nor minstrelsy	I
Round death it babbleth still said he	Q
And what is fame and the praise of men	R
When lost life cometh not again	R
	-
Whither away to seek good cheer	H
Ah me said the third that my love were anear	H
Were the world as little as it is wide	S
In a happy house should ye abide	S
Were the world as kind as it is hard	T
Ye should behold a fair reward	U
	-
So far by high and low have they gone	V
They have come to a waste was rock and stone	W
But lo from the waste a company	Q
Full well bedight came riding by	X
And in the midst a queen so fair	H
That God wrought well in making her	H
The first and second knights abode	Y
To gaze upon her as she rode	Y
Forth passed the third with head down bent	Z
And stumbling ever as he went	Z
His shoulder brushed her saddle bow	A2
He trembled with his head hung low	O
His hand brushed o er her golden gown	B2
As on the waste he fell adown	B2
So swift to earth her feet she set	C2
It seemed that there her arms he met	C2
His lips that looked the stone to meet	D2
Were on her trembling lips and sweet	D2
Softly she kissed him cheek and chin	B2
His mouth her many tears drank in	B2
Where would st thou wander love she said	J
Now I have drawn thee from the dead	J
I go my ways he said and thine	B2
Have nought to do with grief and pine	B2
All ways are one way now she said	J
Since I have drawn thee from the dead	J
Said he But I must seek again	B2
Where first I met thee in thy pain	B2
I am not clad so fair said he	Q
But yet the old hurts thou may st see	Q
And thou but for thy gown of gold	L
A piteous tale of thee were told	L
There is no pain on earth she said	J
Since I have drawn thee from the dead	J
And parting waiteth for us there	H
Said he As it was yester year	H
Yet first a space of love she said	J
Since I have drawn thee from the dead	J
He laughed said he Hast thou a home	E2
Where I and these my friends may come	F2
Laughing The world s my home she said	J
Now I have drawn thee from the dead	J
Yet somewhere is a space thereof	F
Where I may dwell beside my love	F
There clear the river grows for him	G2
Till o er its stones his keel shall swim	G2
There faint the thrushes in their song	M
And deem he tarrieth overlong	M
There summer tide is waiting now	B2
Until he bids the roses blow	O
Come tell my flowery fields she said	J
How I have drawn thee from the dead	J
	-
Whither away to win good cheer	H
With me he said for my love is here	H
The wealth of my house it waneth not	H2
No gift it giveth is forgot	H2
No fear my house may enter in	B2
For nought is there that death may win	B2
Now life is little and death is nought	H2
Since all is found that erst I sought	H2
