i6 The sea outspreading glorious. In the dying sunbeams shone. We sat by the lonely fisher's house, We sat there mute and alone. The waters swell, the mists arise. The sea-mew flutters past. And then from out thy loving eyes The tears come flowing fast. I see them falling on thy hand. Upon my knees I sink, And from the hollow of thy hand The burning tears I drink. Since then strange flames my flesh devour. My spent soul disappears. The wretched woman in that hour Poisoned me with her tears. 96

^7 Up yonder on the mountain, There stands a castle tall; There dwelt three beauteous maidens. And I was loved by all. On Saturday Hetty kissed me, And Sunday was Julia's day; On Monday Kunigunda Nigh hugged my breath away. On Tuesday, in the castle, My maidens gave a ball. The neighboring lords and ladies Came riding one and all. But I was not invited. Amazed they all appeared; The gossiping aunts and cousins Remarked the fact, and sneered. 97

The sea outspreading glorious.<br />

In the dying sunbeams shone.<br />

We sat by the lonely fisher's house,<br />

We sat there mute and alone.<br />

The waters swell, the mists arise.<br />

The sea-mew flutters past.<br />

And then from out thy loving eyes<br />

The tears come flowing fast.<br />

I see them falling on thy hand.<br />

Upon my knees I sink,<br />

And from the hollow of thy hand<br />

The burning tears I drink.<br />

Since then strange flames my flesh devour.<br />

My spent soul disappears.<br />

The wretched woman in that hour<br />

Poisoned me with her tears.<br />
