Where’er she goes with her I go;

Oh, cold and fair!—she cannot guess

I kneel to share her hound’s caress!

Gay knights beside her hunt and hawk,

I rob their ears of her sweet talk;

Her suitors come from East and West,

I steal her smiles from every guest.

Unheard of her, in loving words,

I greet her with the song of birds;

I reach her with the green-armed bowers,
