Explore "The Nobleman's Wedding" by William Allingham on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I once was a guest at a Nobleman's wedding; / Fair was the Bride, but she scarce had been kind, / And now in our mirth, she had tears nigh the shedding / Her former true lover still runs in her mind.
Attired like a minstrel, her former true lover / Takes up his harp, and runs over the strings; / And there among strangers, his grief to discover, / A fair maiden's falsehood he bitterly sings.
