"Give me your cloak, your knightly cloak,

That wrapped you oft beyond the sea!

The wind is bold, my bones are old,

And I am cold on the gallows-tree."

"O holy God! O dearest Maud,

Quick, quick, some prayers—the best that be!

A bony hand my neck has spanned,

And tears my knightly cloak from me!"

"Give me your wine,—the red, red wine,

That in the flask hangs by your knee!
