And what kind heart hath served thee well,

And who thy borrow there might be?"

Naught but the wind and sea made moan

As hastily she turned her round;

From light clouds wept the morn alone,

Not the dead corpse upon the ground.

"O look, my love, for here is he

Who once of all the world was kind,

And led my sad heart o'er the sea!

And now must he be left behind."
