O beautiful star with the crimson mouthA
O moon with the brows of goldB
Rise up rise up from the odorous southA
And light for my love her wayC
Lest her little feet should strayC
On the windy hill and the woldB
O beautiful star with the crimson mouthA
O moon with the brows of goldB
-
O ship that shakes on the desolate seaD
O ship with the wet white sailE
Put in put in to the port to meD
For my love and I would goF
To the land where the daffodils blowF
In the heart of a violet daleE
O ship that shakes on the desolate seaD
O ship with the wet white sailE
-
O rapturous bird with the low sweet noteG
O bird that sits on the sprayC
Sing on sing on from your soft brown throatG
And my love in her little bedH
Will listen and lift her headH
From the pillow and come my wayC
O rapturous bird with the low sweet noteG
O bird that sits on the sprayC
-
O blossom that hangs in the tremulous airI
O blossom with lips of snowF
Come down come down for my love to wearI
You will die on her head in a crownJ
You will die in a fold of her gownJ
To her little light heart you will goF
O blossom that hangs in the tremulous airI
O blossom with lips of snowF
