Sorely the knight chastised their cowardice: He fell'd their leader, and his corpse did throw To the ravening seasa signal sacrifice, That all might learn the way that traitors go. But, when he turn'd to meet his love's dear eyes, Their light was quench'd before that fateful blow. Too late her heart divined that he was wed, And with the knowledge her white soul had fled. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY WIFE by GEORGE WASHINGTON BETHUNE VARIATION ON THE WORD SLEEP by MARGARET ATWOOD IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY A DULL DAY IN SEPTEMBER by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE |
