The moon's my constant mistress
And the lowly owl my marrow;
The flaming drake and the night crow make
Me music to my sorrow

With a host of furious fancies
Whereof I am commander
With a burning spear and a horse of air
To the wilderness I wander

I know more than Apollo
For oft, when he lies sleeping
I see the stars at bloody wars
In the wounded welkin weeping

By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wild world's end:
Methinks it is no journey

The moon embrace her shepherd
And thе Queen of Love her warrior
While thе first doth horn the star of morn
And the next the heavenly Farrier

I know more than Apollo
For oft, when he lies sleeping
I see the stars at bloody wars
In the wounded welkin weeping
By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wild world's end:
Methinks it is no journey

I know more than Apollo
For oft, when he lies sleeping
I see the stars at bloody wars
In the wounded welkin weeping

By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wild world's end:
Methinks it is no journey
