Explore "The Lay of the Lady Lorraine" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Lady Lorraine was sweet and fair; / The Lady Lorraine was young; / She had wonderful eyes and glorious hair, / And a voice of a cadence rich and rare; / Oh, she was a lady beyond compare -- / By all were her praises sung, / Till valley and plain / Took up the refrain, / And rang with the praise of the Lady Lorraine.
And besides all charms of form and face, / There were other attractions about Her Grace; / Besides her delicate, lily-white hands, / She had rolling acres and broad, rich lands; / Besides her patrician coat of arms, / She had far-reaching forests and fertile farms; / And of many an ancient and wide domain / The beautiful lady was chatelaine. / So of course at her door / There were suitors galore; / They came by the dozen, and came by the score.
