-        Richard Coeur de Lion                                      [1]
-            and Blondel
-
-
-    The blush, the light, the gorgeous glow of Eve
-    Waned from the radiant chambers of the west;
-    Now, twilight's robe, dim, orient shadows weave:
-    One star, gleams faintly lustrous, in the east;
-    Far down it shines, on the blue Danube's breast,
-    As calmly, wavelessly its waters glide
-    On to th' appointed regions of their rest,
-    The Sea, profound and hoary, waste and wide;
-    Whose black'ning billows swell in ever restless pride.
-
-    High o'er the river rose a rocky hill,
-    With barren sides, precipitous, and steep:
-    There, 'gainst the sunset heav'ns, serene, and still
-    Frown'd the dark turrets of a feudal Keep.
-    Its folded flag, hung in the air asleep;
-    The breathless beauty of the Summer night
-    Gave not that Austrian standard, to the sweep                  [2]
-    Of fresh'ning Zepyr, or wild Storm-blast's might;
-    But motionless, it drooped, in eve's soft, dying light
-
-    In that Stern Fortess, there were arch, and tow'r,
-    And Iron-wrought lattice, narrow, deep-embaye'd;
-    Where the gloom gather'd thick as night's mid hour
-    And round about it, hung a chilling shade,
-    Which told of dungeons, where the light ne'er play'd,
-    Of prison-walls, of fetter-bolt and chain;
-    Of Captives, 'neath a Tyrant's durance laid;
-    Never, to view the sun's bright face again;
-    Never to breathe the air, of free, wild hill and plain.
-
-    The moon had risen, a host of stars among,
-    When, to th' embattled castle walls, drew nigh
-    A wand'ring minstrel, from his shoulders hung
-    A harp, sweet instrument of melody.
-    He paus'd awhile, beneath the turret high,
-    Then took his harp, and all the sweet chords swept,            [3]
-    Till a sound swell'd beneath the silent sky,
-    And holiest music, on the charmed air crept,
-    Waked from the magic strings, Where till that hour they slept.
-
-    O! how that wild strain o'er the river swelled,
-    And mingled with its gentle murmuring,
-    From the true fount of Song divine, it welled;
-    Music's own simple undefiled spring;
-    Notes rose, and dyed such as the wild birds sing
-    In the lone-wood, or the far lonelier sky.
-    O! none but Blondel but the minstrel king
-    Could waken such transcendant melody;
-    Sweet as a fairy's lute, soft as a passing sigh.
-
-    The strain he sung, was some antique romance,
-    Some long forgotten song of other years;
-    Born in the cloudless clime of sunny France,
-    Where Earth, in vernal loveliness appears;
-    Where the bright grape distils its purple tears;               [4]
-    And clear streams flow, and dim, blue hills arise
-    A gleaming crown of snows Each mountain wears;
-    And there are cities, 'neath her starry skies,
-    As fair as ever blest, with beauty, mortal eyes.
-
-
-    Blondel's Song.
-
-    The moonlight; sleeps low, on the hills of Provence;
-    The stars are all tracking, their paths in the sky:
-    How softly, and brightly, their golden orbs glance,
-    Where the long shining waves, of the silver Rhone lie
-
-    The tow'rs of De Courcy rise high in the beam,
-    From sky to earth trembling, so lustrous and pale,
-    Around them there dwells the deep hush of a dream,
-    And stilled is the murmur of River, and Gale.
-
-    There are groves in the moonlight, all sparkling with dew,
-    There are dim garden-paths, round that Castle of Pride;
-    Where the bud of the rose, and the hyacinth blue,              [5]
-    Close their leaves, to the balm, of the moist even-tide.
-
-    And long is the alley, dark, bowery, and dim,
-    Where sits a white form 'neath a tall chestnut tree
-    Which waves its brown branches, all dark'ling and grim,
-    O'er the young Rose of Courcy, Sweet Anna Marie.
-
-    And who kneels beside her? A warrior in mail.
-    On his helm there's a plume In his hand there's a lance
-    And why does the cheek of the lady turn pale?
-    Why weeps in her beauty The Flower of Provence?
-
-    She weeps for her lover, this night, are they met
-    To breathe a farewell, 'Neath love's own holy star;
-    For to-morrow the crest of the young Lavalette,
-    Will float highest, and first in the van of the war.
-
-
-    Thus far sung Blondel, when a sudden tone,
-    of quivering harp-strings, on his ear upsprung;
-    It sounded, like an echo of his own:
-    So faintly, that mysterious music rung,                        [6]
-    So sweet, it floated, those dark towers among,
-    And seemed to issue from their topmost height;
-    Then there were words, in measured cadence sung.
-    Now soft and low, then with a master's might,
-    Poured forth that varying strain, upon the stilly night
-
-    Who sings? the minstrel knows there is but one,
-    Whose voice has music half so rich, and deep
-    Whose hand can summon from the harp a tone,
-    So thrilling, that it calls from latent sleep
-    Heroic thoughts, dims eyes, that seldom weep,
-    With tears of extasy, and fires the breast,
-    Till listening warriors, from their chargers leap,
-    Assume the glittering helm, and nodding crest,
-    Unsheathe the ready sword And lay the lance in rest
-
-    But not of war, nor of the battle blast,
-    Sung now the kingly harper. No his strain
-    Was mournful, as a dream of days long past.                    [7]
-    At times it swelled, but quickly died again;
-    And oh! the sadness of that wild refrain!
-    Suited full well with the lone, solemn hour,
-    Too sad for joy, too exquisite for pain,
-    It touched the heart Subdued the spirit's power
-    Blent with the Danube's moan, and wailed around the tower
-
-
-    Richard's Song
-
-    Thrice, the great fadeless lights of heaven
-    The moon, and the eternal sun
-    As God's unchanging law was given,
-    Have each their course appointed run.
-    Three times the Earth, her mighty way
-    Hath measured o'er a shoreless sea;
-    While hopeless still from day, to day,
-    I've sat in lone captivity;
-    Listening the wind, and River's moan,
-    Wakening my wild harp's solemn tone,
-      And longing to be free.
-
-    Blondel! my heart seems cold, and dead;                        [8]
-    My soul, has lost its ancient might;
-    The sun of chivalry is fled
-    And dark despair's, unholy night
-    Above me closes still and deep;
-    While wearily each lapsing day
-    Leads onward, to the last, long sleep;
-    The hour when all shall pass away;
-    When King, and Captive, Lord, and Slave
-    Must rest unparted, in the grave
-      A mass of soulless clay.
-
-    O long I've listened to the sound,
-    Of winter's blast, and summer's breeze,
-    As their sweet voices sung around,
-    Through echoing caves, and wind-waved trees.
-    And long I've viewed from prison bars
-    Sunset, and dawn, and night, and noon:
-    Watched the uprising of the stars,
-    Seen the calm advent of the moon:
-    But blast and breeze and star, and Sun
-    All vainly swept, all vainly shone,                            [9]
-      I filled a living tomb.
-
-    God of my fathers! Can it be?
-    Must I, the chosen of thy might?
-    Whose name alone, brought victory,
-    Whose battle cry was God my Right
-    Closed, in a Tyrant's dungeon cell,
-    Wear out the remnant of my life?
-    And never hear again, the swell
-    Of high and hot and glorious strife
-    Where trumpet's peal, and bugles sing,
-    And minstrels sweep the martial string,
-      And war, and fame are rife.
-
-    No Blondel! thou wert sent by heaven,
-    Thy King, thy Lion-King to free,
-    To thee, the high command was given
-    To rescue from captivity.
-    Haste from the Tyrant Austrian's Hold,
-    Cross rapidly the rolling sea,                                [10]
-    And go, where dwell the brave, the bold,
-    By stream and Hill and green-wood tree.
-    Minstrel let merry England, ring
-    With tidings of her Lion-King,
-      And bring back liberty.
-
-
-    Such was the lay, the monarch-minstrel sung,
-    A few bright moons, waned from the silent heavens
-    And Albion, with a shout of Triumph rung;
-    As once again her worshipped King, was given
-    Back to her breast, his bonds asunder riven
-    And the Sweet Empress of the subject Sea
-    Sent up her hymn of gratitude to heaven
-    Through all her coasts she hailed him crowned and free
-    The Champion of God's hosts The pride of liberty.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
