Inside This Castle On a Hill
Intrepid knight, sweet gallant, hear my plea.
Inside this castle on a hill, confined,
I wane. On reading this, please speed to me,
else I shall be to hopelessness resigned!
I sadly saw you off to the Crusade.
Recall the pact we made. I gave my heart
to you! May God be with you. How I’ve prayed
when you return, we never more shall part.
With utter faith in you, I write this now.
My kin were killed. A cruel lord took control.
He'd have me for his wife, but I'll not bow.
He has my land but can't possess my soul.
Please, trust my go-between as I trust you.
My love, let not our pact be proved untrue.
