Poem: The Dole Of The King's Daughter (Breton)

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Seven stars in the still water,

And seven in the sky;

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Seven sins on the King's daughter,

Deep in her soul to lie.

Red roses are at her feet,

(Roses are red in her red-gold hair)

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And O where her bosom and girdle meet

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Red roses are hidden there.

Fair is the knight who lieth slain

Amid the rush and reed,

See the lean fishes that are fain

Upon dead men to feed.

Sweet is the page that lieth there,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址(Cloth of gold is goodly prey,)

See the black ravens in the air,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Black, O black as the night are they.

上海龙凤shlf最新地址What do they there so stark and dead?

上海龙凤shlf最新地址(There is blood upon her hand)

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Why are the lilies flecked with red?

(There is blood on the river sand.)

There are two that ride from the south and east,

And two from the north and west,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址For the black raven a goodly feast,

For the King's daughter rest.

上海龙凤shlf最新地址There is one man who loves her true,

(Red, O red, is the stain of gore!)

He hath duggen a grave by the darksome yew,

(One grave will do for four.)

上海龙凤shlf最新地址No moon in the still heaven,

In the black water none,

The sins on her soul are seven,

The sin upon his is one.
