Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Troubadour and Other Poems
The wind blew chill, the night was drear And round the strong walls of the keep The silent snow fell white and deep. But well the Baron's board was spread, Of winter ways he had no dread. Good meat, good Wine, good company What more could heart desire Yet he Sat frowning by the yule-log's flame, That lit the cheek of squire and dame. And too, his lady, pouting, pressed Against the window, facing west, As though in vain she sought to see Some guest belated on the lee.
