| 656. Elena's Song |
| QUOTH tongue of neither maid nor wife | |
| To heart of neither wife nor maid— | |
| Lead we not here a jolly life | |
| Betwixt the shine and shade? | |
| Quoth heart of neither maid nor wife | 5 |
| To tongue of neither wife nor maid— | |
| Thou wagg'st, but I am worn with strife, | |
| And feel like flowers that fade. |
