SONG
[The stranger lighted from his steed]
I
The stranger lighted from his steed,And ere he spake a word,
He seiz'd my lady's lilly hand,
And kiss'd it all unheard.
II
The stranger walk'd into the hall,And ere he spake a word,
He kiss'd my lady's cherry lips,
And kiss'd 'em all unheard.
III
The stranger walk'd into the bower,—But my lady first did go,—
Aye hand in hand into the bower,
Where my lord's roses blow.
IV
My lady's maid had a silken scarf,And a golden ring had she,
And a kiss from the stranger, as off he went
Again on his fair palfrey.
