Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers; Knights & Knighthood; Love; Man-woman Relationships; Male-female Relations
The knight hath ta'en her stilly hand in his:
She sways like a wind-stirr'd lily of the wood,
For now she feels the tingling of his kiss
Convey'd by that mute trespass to her blood.
The secret that she hopes his eyes may miss
Mantles her cheeks in an encrimson'd flood.
With chaste reserve her gentle hand she frees,
On silken couch she stays her trembling knees.
