La Belle Dame Sans Merci

INDIVIDUAL SONGS

I - O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms

II - O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms!

III - I see a lily on thy brow

IV - I met a lady in the meads

V - I made a garland for her head

VI - I set her on my pacing steed

VII - She found me roots of relish sweet

VIII - She took me to her elfin grot

IX - And there she lulled me asleep

X - I saw pale kings and princes too

XI - I saw their starved lips in the gloam

XII - And this is why I sojourn here
