Down Where the Willow Wands Weep |
I took my only young son, And my only daughter |
Down where the willow wands weep into the water |
And Walter my young son, he reached up and caught her |
When away like a seedling, a gentle wind brought her |
I had a daughter and a son |
But in the undergrowth I lost them |
For I am made of blood and bone |
And they are made of bud and blossom |
And all the sorrows of their sires |
Their sinning and wrongdoing cost me |
Upon the thorny, thorny briars |
May the wild water toss me |
And so I’ll leave my native land |
Clad in birch and rhododendron |
In Caerlon, Albion, and Man |
May river flow and ever wend on |
