THE LADY AND THE LORD.
ENGLISH.
The lady with her flowing hairHas covered her lover o'er.
“There are men who wish to see me here
Are hiding behind the door.
187
What canst thou do for me?”
“I will not let thee go, my love,
Though I lose my life for thee.
Thou hast seven brothers. Though my heart
Should leap upon their sword,
Whilst thou art mine and I am thine
I ever will keep my word.”
Charles G. Leland.
