Untrampled lies the sod;

It is the Truce of God!

For thou upon the best of land
Should'st feed, and live, and die with me.
Against the truce of Border tide?
And forgotten that the bauld Bacleuch
Is keeper here on the Scottish side?

To keep her tents until the morrow,
Nor send such dreams to make me weep.

But the spirit of night stood between them,
Proclaiming the truce of their God.
Of life and death stayed by the truce of sleep,
Yet whispered of an hour when sleepers wake,
The fool to hope afresh, the wise to weep.
