Ah, what can ail thee, knight at arms,Alone and palely loitering?The sedge is withered from the lake,And no birds sing.Ah, what can ail thee, knight at arms So haggard and so woe-begoneThe squirrel's granary is full,And the harvest's done.I see a lily on thy browWith anguish moist and fever dew,And on thy cheek a fading roseFast withereth too.I met a lady in the meads,Full beautiful, a faery's child:Her hair was long, her foot was light,And her eyes were wild.I set her on my pacing steed,And nothing else saw all day long;For sideways would she lean, and singA faery's song.I made a garland for her head,And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;She looked at me as she did love,And made sweet moan. She found me roots of relish sweet,And honey wild, and manna dew,And sure in language strange she said,"I love thee true!"She took me to her elfin grot,And there she gazed and sighed deep,And there I shut her wild, sad eyes--So kissed to sleep.And there we slumbered on the moss,And there I dreamed, ah! woe betide,The latest dream I ever dreamedOn the cold hill side.I saw pale kings, and princes too,Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;Who cried--"La belle Dame sans merciHath thee in thrall!"I saw their starved lips in the gloam,With horrid warning gaped wide,And I awoke and found me here,On the cold hill side.And that is why I sojourn here,Alone and palely loitering,Though the sedge is withered from the lake,And no birds sing. “La Belle Dame sans Merci” by John Keats
