the zegri maiden - yahya parkinson lyrics

[stanza 1]
lay aside thy work xarifa
put the velvet cushion down
come and see our spearmen thronging
thro’ granada’s cheering town;
come my sister, come xarifa
stand beside the lattice, dear
you will see the zegri hors*m*n
passing ‘neath the window here

[stanza 2]
caballeros granadinos
trooping slow with stately pace;
at the head the young andalla
chief, of warlike mien and grace;
what is wrong, my dear xarifa?
why the tear*drops in thine eye?
come unto the window, darling
young andalla passes by

[stanza 3]
in his turban lady’s favour
shades of violet and of white
woven by the hand of zara
he will wed with her to*night;
put the cushion down, xarifa
lay aside thy knitting now;
zegri n0blest princes riding
chivalry on every brow
[stanza 4]
bid me not, my dearest zara
put my needle*work aside
look with all the gazing city
where the zegri warriors ride
false of heart the cid andalla
gave to me his plighted vow;
yet to*night he weds with zara
flies her favour o’er his brow
