VII

Orlamonde had seven daughters

When the fairy died

The seven maids, the seven daughters,

Sought to win outside.

Then they lit their seven lamps;

Through all the towers they sought;

They opened full four hundred halls;

The day, they found it not.

They came to the echoing caverns deep;

Down, tho' the air was cold,

Went, and in a stubborn door

Found a key of gold.

They see the ocean through the chinks;

They fear to die outside;

They beat on the unmoving door

They dare not open wide.
