And you waved your hand from the green cliff head

When the sun and I came up from the sea!—

And there was a seigneur so great and grim

Who walked in his garden and said aloud,

“How many fish has he taken for me?

Which of her cows shall I keep for myself?

I leave him enough to pay for the Mass

The day he is drowned, and the girl shall have

The range of the hills for her one poor cow!

Why should the fisher fret, the herd girl weep?
