cousin Kate Flashcards
I was…air
I was a cottage-maiden hardened by the sun and air
not…out
not mindful I was fair, why did a great lord find me out
why…care
why did a great lord find me out to fill my heart with care
he…thereof-
he lured me to his palace-home woes me for joy thereof-
his…knot
his plaything and his love he wore me like a golden knot
so now…dove
so now I moan an unclean thing who might have been a dove
because…ring
because you were so good and pure he bound you with his ring
now which…wing
now which of us has tenderer heart you had the stronger wing
for all…fret
for all your clothes and wedding ring I’ve little doubt you fret
your sire…coronet
your sire would give broad lands for one to wear his coronet
