It must not, Sire, it must not be:

I cannot rest one hour with thee.

Then bring this sorrow to an end,

For naught my settled will can bend.

I gave a pledge that binds me too,

And to that pledge I still am true.

Kaikeyí bade me speed away:

She prayed me, and I answered yea.

Pine not for me, and weep no more;

The wood for us has joy in store,
