"The Maiden Betrothed"

"The Journey Of Love"



My love for you one mile to ride

there beside my Lady’s side.

Alas! I’m but overbold

in a cloud of gold,

a forester’s son

seen in sunshine,

with many colors

in a garden green.

My spindle for thee

threads by fire light,

your face faded pale

dark eyes through a veil.

Where to now I cry for you

our love forever there so true,

one grave the room our chapel

love in heaven we ring the bell.

Sapphire colored in the night

flaming through the sky,

lightning in the groves

the garden closed.

No reply was told

in days of old,

I know not why

our love goodbye,

there to fly far away

so fair a new home there.

Stars dance twinkling bright

the forest garden alight,

two lovebirds in a row

alone in the bower,

hidden the tower

my love betrothed -
