THE WEIRD LADY.
vi.Earl Harold came to a house of nuns, And he heard the dead-bell toll;He saw the sexton stand by a grave;'Now Christ have mercy, who did us save, Upon yon fair nun's soul.'
vii.The nuns they came from the convent gate By one, by two, by three;They sang for the soul of a lady brightWho died for the love of a traitor knight: It was his own lady.
viii.He stayed the corpse beside the grave; 'A sign, a sign!' quod he.'Mary Mother who rulest heavenSend me a sign if I be forgiven By the woman who so loved me.'
