Rowena & HaroldA Romance in Rhyme of an Olden Time, of Hastyngs and Normanhurst
The hearts of all rejoiced that she was free

 When, too, they heard she'd saved Sir Harold's life And why she wished to fly Her native land, They swore, as salt tears filled each manly eye, To be her knight till safe on England's strand; And happy would he be who won her then for wife! 

When, too, they heard she'd saved Sir Harold's life

And why she wished to fly

Her native land,

They swore, as salt tears filled each manly eye,

To be her knight till safe on England's strand;

 On deck, one eve, she told Sir Harold, how, She'd seen an English knight, Sir Ralph by name, Deal him his wound, then-rush into the fight And fall. He died; so never more could claim Rowena's hand. Now would her haughty sire relent his vow? 

On deck, one eve, she told Sir Harold, how,

She'd seen an English knight,

Sir Ralph by name,

Deal him his wound, then-rush into the fight

And fall. He died; so never more could claim

 

 

 The Light in the Turret Tower. 

 Rowena sings. Burn bright, burn bright, Dear light, sweet light, To guide him back to me. My knight, own knight, Brave knight, true knight, My love sent o'er the sea. 

Rowena sings.

My knight, own knight,

Brave knight, true knight,
