—Behold! it is past,—that many a year;
The harvest of her hope is near;
Behold! it is come,—behold him here!
Yes, in pomp and power and pride,
And joy and love how true, how tried,
He comes to claim his long-loved bride;
Her own true knight, O bliss to tell,
Her Amador she loves so well
Returns for his sweet Christabel!
