The Bridegroom To His Bride.

Topics: classic

Fairest fair, best of good,             Too high for hope that stood;     White star of womanhood shining apart             O my liege lady,             And O my one lady,     And O my loved lady, come down to my heart.             Reach me life's wine and gold,             What is man's best all told,     If thou thyself withhold, sweet, from thy throne?             O my liege lady,             And O my loved lady,     And O my heart's lady, come, reign there alone.
