Her lips at last shall make me glad.
The King's Daughter. As once our fingers met, O love, So shall our lips be fain thereof. The Raven. He sang: Come wrack and iron and flame, For what shall breach the wall but fame? The King's Daughter. Be swift to rise and set, O Sun, Lest life 'twixt hope and death be done. The Raven. King's daughter sitting in tower so high, A gift for my tale ere forth I fly, The gold from thy finger fair and fine, Thou hadst it from no love of thine. The King's Daughter. By my father's ring another there is, I had it with my mother's kiss. Fly forth, O fowl, across the sea To win another gift of me. |
