Edmund
Vale .
Another
shadow -
a
shadow
swift
and
narrow
Yea , so swift
and
narrow ,
she
saw
it not
at all
Fled
across
her
sunny
crown, - 'twas
but the
page 's
arrow .
And
she
looked
up
and
laughed
,
to
see
the
wild
swan
fall
.
And still another
shadow
between
the
lawn and sun
light
The
shadow
of
a
red
streak
falling
through
the
air
Down
in
the river
is
the wounded
swan
's
death
fight
;
But
his
blood
has
splashed
on
the
King
's
White
Daughter
fair
;
Splashed
on
her
peacocks and
on
her
pretty
Page
-
boy
,
And
lo
!
there
steals
a
music
calling
soft
and
faint
Through
the great gardens and orchards
of
the King
's
joy
From
the
ancient
terraced
thousand
steps
—
"
The
Bride
's
Descent
.”
Behold
!
her
true
love
is
a
prince
enchanted
,
And
he
has
turned
wild
swan
,
to
see
his
love
at
play
:
And
lo
!
her
page has
shot
him
,
but
his
Fairy
Sire
has
granted
His
death
's
wish
-
He
's
a
galleon
to
bear
them
all
away
.
