On the troubadours below,
As they stood attuning their voices,
At midnight in row.
In row beneath her lattice,
I With their tenor at the head,
A pallid youth with yellow bair,a
Who ought to have been ID bed.
And now the viols sounded, .,'
And the flute ON the midnight air;
And dismal noiss went wailing oat
From him Of the yellow hair -
He called her his light, his shining star,
And ikaned her 10 the moon; Ialb
And the yiols, and flute, and light guitar,
Took up and echoed the tune. z5laFls
And the longer he sang, tho louder
His voice was pitched, and higher,
He clasped his hand where bis heart should be,
And swore he was on FIRE. ,., :.
Then the maiden smiled a pensive smile. y
And went to her little stand, n fl,.i aA
And appeared in white at her window,
With washbowl in her hand.
