MORRIS

WINTER WEATHER

WE rode together

In the winter weather

To the broad mead under the hill;

Though the skies did shiver

With the cold, the river

Ran, and was never still.

No cloud did darken
The night; we did harken

The hound's bark far away.

It was solemn midnight

In that dread, dread night,

In the years that have pass'd for aye.

Two rode beside me,

My banner did hide me,

As it drooped adown from my lance;
With its deep blue trapping,
The mail over-lapping,

My gallant horse did prance.

So ever together

In the sparkling weather
Moved my banner and lance;
And its laurel trapping,

The steel over-lapping,

The stars saw quiver and dance.

We met together

In the winter weather

By the town-walls under the hill; His mail rings came clinking,

They broke on my thinking,

For the night was hush'd and still.

Two rode beside him,

His banner did hide him,

As it drooped down straight from his
lance;

With its blood-red trapping,
The mail over-lapping.

His mighty horse did prance.
