“Yonder comes my lady
Rainbow ribbons in her hair
Yonder comes my lady
Rainbow ribbons in her hair
Six white horses and a carriage
She's returning from the fair”

And twenty thousand tears

“She clad herself in a russet gown,
She was no longer Lady Clare:
She went by dale, and she went by down,
With a single rose in her hair.

The lily-white doe Lord Ronald had brought
Leapt up from where she lay.
Dropped her head in the maiden's hand.
And followed her all the way.”

A shepherdess of sheep.
Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white;

Full beautiful — a faery's child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.”
