The squirrel's granry is full.

And the harvest's done

And there she gazed and sighed full sore،

And there I shut her wild wild eyes

With kisses four.

And there she lulled me asleep،

And there I dream'd-ah! woe betide!

Pale warriors، death-pale were they all;

They cried - «la Belle Dame sans merci
