Chapter 26

FOOTNOTES:[A]Of course, no allusions are made to any real M. 20139.[B]So still and calm the night is,The very winds asleep,My heart’s so tender sentinelHis watch and ward doth keep.And on the wings of zephyrs softThat wander how they will,To thee, O woman fair, to theeMy prayers go fluttering still.Oh, take the heart’s love to thy heartOf one that doth adore!Have pity, add not to the flameThat burns thy troubadour!And if compassion stirs thy breastFor my eternal woe,Oh, as I love thee, loveliestOf women, love me so!

So still and calm the night is,

The very winds asleep,

My heart’s so tender sentinel

His watch and ward doth keep.

And on the wings of zephyrs soft

That wander how they will,

To thee, O woman fair, to thee

My prayers go fluttering still.

Oh, take the heart’s love to thy heartOf one that doth adore!Have pity, add not to the flameThat burns thy troubadour!And if compassion stirs thy breastFor my eternal woe,Oh, as I love thee, loveliestOf women, love me so!

Oh, take the heart’s love to thy heart

Of one that doth adore!

Have pity, add not to the flame

That burns thy troubadour!

And if compassion stirs thy breast

For my eternal woe,

Oh, as I love thee, loveliest

Of women, love me so!
