_A jongleur tells to the Viscountess of Ventadour, -- wife of the Seigneur / of the Château de Ventadour, in Limousin, -- how the troubadour Bernard, / her former lover, met his death. Time, the middle of the 12th century._
/ All the night was drowned in dreaming; / And, above the terraced height, / Hung the moon, a sinking crescent, / In the ocean mirrored white; / And a breath of distant music / And of fragrance filled the night.
