THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 1 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: O FOR THE GOLDEN MORN OF OLD ROMANCE
Last Line: BREATHE YOUR SWEET PLAININGS ON THIS ANCIENT LAY!
Subject(s): LOVE; MAN-WOMAN RELATIONSHIPS; ROMANCE; MALE-FEMALE RELATIONS;

O FOR the golden morn of old Romance,
The world's glad youth now fled forever by!
When knights were chivalrous, and lady's glance
Could kindle valour in a lover's eye;
When greed of gain and worldly circumstance
Had not taught men true manhood to decry.
O souls of lovers, long since passed away,
Breathe your sweet plainings on this ancient lay!
