Doomed ever to roam | B |
A beautiful exile | C |
Afar from its home | B |
- | |
The cliffs on the mountain | D |
The grand and the gray | E |
They took the bright creature | A |
And hurled it away | E |
- | |
I heard the wild downfall | F |
And knew it must spill | G |
A passionate heart out | H |
All over the hill | G |
- | |
Oh was it a daughter | A |
Of sorrow and sin | I |
That they threw it so madly | J |
Down into the lynn | I |
- | |
And listen my Sister | A |
For this is the song | K |
The Waterfall taught me | J |
The ridges among | L |
- | |
Oh where are the shadows | M |
So cool and so sweet | N |
And the rocks saith the water | A |
With the moss on their feet | N |
- | |
Oh where are my playmates | O |
The wind and the flowers | P |
The golden and purple | Q |
Of honey sweet bowers | P |

Mine eyes have been blinded | R |
Because of the sun | D |
And moaning and moaning | S |
I listlessly run | D |
- | |
These hills are so flinty | J |
Ah tell me dark Earth | T |
What valley leads back to | U |
The place of my birth | T |
- | |
What valley leads up to | U |
The haunts where a child | V |
Of the caverns I sported | R |
The free and the wild | V |
- | |
There lift me it crieth | T |
I faint from the heat | N |
With a sob for the shadows | M |
So cool and so sweet | N |
- | |
Ye rocks that look over | A |
With never a tear | W |
I yearn for one half of | X |
The wasted love here | Y |
- | |
My sister so wistful | Q |
You know I believe | Z |
Like a child for the mountains | A2 |
This water doth grieve | Z |
- | |
Ah you with the blue eyes | B2 |
And golden brown hair | W |
Come closer and closer | A |
And truly declare | W |
- | |
Supposing a darling | S |
Once happened to sin | I |
In a passionate space | C2 |
Would you carry her in | I |
- | |
If your fathers and mothers | P |
The grand and the gray | E |
Had taken the weak one | D |
And hurled her away | E |
