Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wooing of King Sigurd: And the Ballad of the Page and the King´s Daughter The Ballad of the King Sigurd. IV. Thus spake the king, when on the land they stood - "So joyful beats my heart, so light my mood, "I know not if the spring-tide makes me gay, "Or our good wine - a youth I feel to-day." V. Further they strode along the yellow sand, On booty bent; when lo! a lovely band Of merry girls to wash their garments troop´d, To where some elders o´er a brooklet stoop´d. VI. Gaily they work´d, and sang in sportive mood Over their toil; their mistress by them stood, A maiden fair, who on her mantle wore A jewell´d clasp; her wrist a falcon bore. VII. In her sweet youth she stood, her rosy face Beam´d like the early morn; with wondrous grace Her golden curls fell o´er her girlish form, And put the shining of her clasp to scorn. VIII. Then, deeply musing, spake the king Sigurd: "A lovely maiden, by my royal word! "Spite of my age, her for my bride I´ll take" - He thought - "or sure for love my heart will break."
