Have lit for us these sunless winter days,

With radiant kindliness and gracious smiles

Cheering our weariness, though in thy heart

Sorrow for Sigebert still weeping lies:

How shall we render thanks for courtesy

When all our thanks would not outweigh one smile

That kindles in thine eyes, and curves thy lips

Upward, and lingers there deliciously,

Though the deep eyes have once again turned grave

With sorrow half remembered? O fair Queen,
