The Wandering Knights Song
By Spanish BalladTranslated by J. G. Lockhart
M
My pastime is in war,
My bed is cold upon the wold,
My lamp yon star.
My slumbers short and broken;
From hill to hill I wander still,
Kissing thy token.
I sail from sea to sea;
Some day more kind I fate may find,
Some night kiss thee.
