Lonely Maid Immured In the Castle Walls
Lonely maid immured in the castle walls
does an urgent desire thee inflame...
when I charm thy verdant eye?
Mine fate is entwined with thine,
be it life liveth in love, or nothing more!
O veil not thy smooth, timid face
with doubt and fear! Though thou seem too brave
to endure what morrow might bring ashore;
thy vessel will not stray from mine keen eye,
assured guidance will spare it from wrackage,
as I spare thee the sorrow of the coldest tears!
Lonely maid immured in the castle walls,
thou will know sublime joy in mine passionate embrace,
as these lips make thee taste their sweetness;
mine passion is a love no lover hath or will have,
and I bring a light to illuminate thy darkness!
Lonely maid immured in the castle walls,
forbidden to feel love and explore its wonders,
let thy words come forth and speak in tender tongue;
thou can break thy vow of forced chastity...
as no king possess thee but this knight of loyalty!
