Of her I loved, dark dwelling-place below,

Whom I was robb’d of, angel from above,

Cursed be thy name, thy soil, as was my love.

There rest, aye, in thy loftiness,

To shame the plain around,

Warderless castle, matron lone,

In whom no beauty’s found.

At thee time laughs, thy towers o’erthrown,

Scorn’d by thy vassals, by thy Lord

Deserted, rest, black skeleton!
