The Lord of the Forest and his Vassals An Allegory [by C. F. Humphreys] |
 |
[When the bright temptation lies] |
 | The Lord of the Forest and his Vassals |  |
[When the bright temptation lies]
When the bright temptation liesGlittering in thy dazzled eyes;
When the tempter's voice is near,
Whispering sweetly in thine ear;
Look not on the bright array,
Hear not the deceitful lay,
Christian, rise, and flee away.
| The Lord of the Forest and his Vassals | |
