Thomas Campbell - Adelgitha
Work rating: Medium

The ordeal`s fatal trumpet sounded,
         And sad pale Adelgitha came,
      When forth a valiant champion bounded,
         And slew the slanderer of her fame. 
      She wept, delivered from her danger;
         But when he knelt to claim her glove-
      "Seek not!" she cried, "oh, gallant stranger,
         For hapless Adelgitha`s love.

      For he is dead and in a foreign land
         Whose arm should now have set me free;
      And I must wear the willow garland
         For him that`s dead, or false to me."

      "Nay! say not that his faith is tainted!"-
         He raised his visor.-At the sight
      She fell into his arms and fainted;
         It was indeed her one true knight!
