Now, good gray steed, make haste, make haste!

4.

Sir Ulric back from the chase has come,

And sounds the horn at his castel-home.

Or ever he drew his bridle-rein,

He saw the dial split in twain;

The bonny blithe bird was stark and dead,

And the lithe little page hung down his head.

The lithe little page hung down his head;

Wild winds whistle and snow is come;
