THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 63 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: AND TO THE NIGHT WINDS CRIED OUT 'GUILLARDUN'
Last Line: ROSE UP TO SHATTER HIS RESOLVéD PEACE.
Subject(s): LOVE; MEMORY; PASSION;

And to the night winds cried out 'Guillardun,'
And thrice thro' space he call'd her tristfully;
And 'Guillardun' he sigh'd to the pale moon
To the silvery chime and cadence of the sea;
And evermore was 'Guillardun' his rune,
The music of her name his lullaby.
Whilst morn and eve her passionate pale face
Rose up to shatter his resolvéd peace.
