GERTHA'S LOVERS

[Verse extracted from the prose narrative.]

[All thoughts, all passions, all delights]

All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
All are but ministers of love,
And feed his sacred flame.

CHAPTER I. BY THE RIVER.


179

[“The King rode out in the morning early]

[Gertha.]
“The King rode out in the morning early,
Went riding to hunting over the grass;
Ere the dew fell again that was then bright and pearly,
O me! what a sorrow had come to pass!”

[“The King rode out in the morning early]

[A Knight.]
“The King rode out in the morning early,
Went riding to hunting over the grass;
Ere the dew fell again which was then round and pearly,
O me! what a sorrow had come to pass.”
