First Line: Yet such the garb of innocence she wore
Last Line: Her heart of peace he never would profane.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hearts; Love
Yet such the garb of innocence she wore,
White-robed in panoply of virgin faith,
For very knighthood he his strength forbore:
To him she should not owe her maiden skaith!
How could he bring dishonour to her door,
And make of her heart's love a piteous wraith?
Whiles yet to him high courage and truth remain,
Her heart of peace he never would profane.
