Poem for the day

If you missed the poem of the day during your travels, find it here.

The Maiden's Song

When I was in my mother's bower
I had all that I would

The bailey beareth the bell away
The lily, the rose, the rose I lay

The silver white, red is the ld
The robes they lay in fold

The bailey beareth the bell away
The lily, the rose, the rose I lay

And through the glass window shines the sun
How should I love and I so young

The bailey beareth the bell away
The lily, the rose, the rose I lay
The bailey beareth the bell away

Anon (16th century)
