   And the Lady was she faithless
   Could she this deep love forget
   That has made those halls deserted
   Where their proud gaze once had met.
   Was there then another wooer
   Happy in her guilty love
   Ask the strars that shine above her
   Speak it thus chaste moon above.

   See, it is a spacious garden
   Reaching from the castle fosse
   Old trees are with ripe fruit laden
   Lichen stained and wreathed with moss
   Ancient trees are tipped with silver
   Sleeping in the dreamy light
   Of the mild and tranquil moonbeams
   In the silence of the night.
