Maiden With The Gipsy Look.

Topics: classic

Maiden with the gipsy look,     Dusky locks and russet hue,     Open wide thy Sybil's book,     Tell my fate and tell it true;     Shall I live? or shall I die?     Timely wed, or single be?     Maiden with the gipsy eye,     Read my riddle unto me!     Maiden with the gipsy face,     If thou canst not tell me all,     Tell me thus much, of thy grace,     Should I climb, or fear to fall?     Should I dare, or dread to dare?     Should I speak, or silent be?     Maiden with the gipsy hair,     Read my riddle unto me!     Maiden with the gipsy hair,     Deep into thy mirror look,     See my love and fortune there,     Clearer than in Sybil's book:     Let me cross thy slender palm,     Let me learn my fate from thee;     Maiden with the gipsy charm,     Read my riddle unto me.
