Classic Poem

“L ORD of the castle! oh, where goest thou?
Why is the triumph of pride on thy brow?”
“Pilgrim, my bridal awaits me to-day,
Over the mountains away and away.”

“Flora in beauty and solitude roves,
List'ning for thee in the shade of the groves.”
“Pilgrim, I hasten her truth to repay,
Over the mountains away and away.”

“Guided by honor, how brilliant the road
Leading from cottage to castle abode!”
“Pilgrim, its dictates I learned to obey,
Over the mountains away and away.”
