He kissed the sweetness of her skin.

Then hand in hand they went their way

Till the wood grew light with the outer day.

At last behind them lies the wood,

And before are the Upland Acres good.

On the hill's brow awhile they stay

At midmorn of the merry day.

He sheareth a deal from his kirtle meet,

To make her sandals for her feet.

He windeth a wreath of the beechen tree,
