Then the carle he kneel'd to that seraph young,
And named her with a tremulous tongue;
And the light of God shone on his face,
As he look'd to heaven and named her Grace;
And he barr'd the day of sorrow and pain
Ever to thrall the world again;
Then he clasp'd his hands, and wept full sore,
When he bade her adieu for evermore.
And named her with a tremulous tongue;
And the light of God shone on his face,
As he look'd to heaven and named her Grace;
And he barr'd the day of sorrow and pain
Ever to thrall the world again;
Then he clasp'd his hands, and wept full sore,
When he bade her adieu for evermore.
