I had a love in soft south landA
Beloved through April far in MayB
He waited on my lightest breathC
And never dared to say me nayB
-
He saddened if my cheer was sadD
But gay he grew if I was gayB
We never differed on a hairE
My yes his yes my nay his nayB
-
The wedding hour was come the aislesF
Were flushed with sun and flowers that dayB
I pacing balanced in my thoughtsG
It's quite too late to think of nayB
-
My bridegroom answered in his turnH
Myself had almost answered yeaB
When through the flashing nave I heardI
A struggle and resounding nayB
-
Bridemaids and bridegroom shrank in fearJ
But I stood high who stood at bayB
And if I answer yea fair SirK
What man art thou to bar with nayB
-
He was a strong man from the northL
Light locked with eyes of dangerous grayB
Put yea by for another timeM
In which I will not say thee nayB
-
He took me in his strong white armsN
He bore me on his horse awayB
O'er crag morass and hair breadth passO
But never asked me yea or nayB
-
He made me fast with book and bellP
With links of love he makes me stayB
Till now I've neither heart nor powerK
Nor will nor wish to say him nayB
