HER dark attire thus wearing My love appears to my sight Like a tale of sorrow despairing That's told in the long summer night: "In the magical garden there wander "Two lovers mute and alone; "Sweet sing the nightingales yonder, "The moonbeams are over them thrown. "Like a statue the maiden stands mildly, "At her feet the faithful knight lies; "The forest giant comes wildly, "The sorrowing maiden soon flies. "Soon the knight on the ground lies all gory, "The giant goes home at his ease --" And when I am buried, the story Is ended as soon as you please. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY AIN COUNTREE by ALLAN CUNNINGHAM THOUGHTS WHILE PACKING A TRUNK by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY IN THE VALLEY OF CAUTERETZ by ALFRED TENNYSON THE SEA DREAM by WILLIAM ROSE BENET ABRAHAM by JOHN STUART BLACKIE POEM BY A PERFECTLY FURIOUS ACADEMICIAN by CHARLES WILLIAM SHIRLEY BROOKS |
