The stranger lighted from his steed, / And ere he spake a word, / He seiz'd my lady's lily hand, / And kiss'd it all unheard.
The stranger walk'd into the hall, / And ere he spake a word, / He kiss'd my lady's cherry lips, / And kiss'd 'em all unheard.
The stranger walk'd into the bower, --
But my lady first did go-, --
Ay hand in hand into the bower, / Where my Lord's roses blow.
My lady's maid had a silken scarf, / And a golden ring had she, / And a kiss from the stranger, as off he went / Again on his palfrey.
