| The Stolen Bride
|
| Three long nights and sleep eludes me Wait and watch and listen
|
| But all I hear is the viper sliding
|
| And hissing along the river
|
| There I wrote this song I sing now
|
| Darkly dressed with sorrow
|
| About the bride who left her wedding
|
| Slipped out… none saw none followed.
|
| No one saw the extra guest
|
| Beguile her to the threshold
|
| With smiles and pretty words about the beauty of her dress
|
| And persuade her from the feasting
|
| So naive she followed him
|
| She thought but for a moment
|
| We waited her return till the candles burnt away
|
| We searched… but none could find her
|
| A fiddler present at the wedding
|
| Was walking out next morning
|
| When the strange guest appeared before him
|
| Good day musician said he I know you search for one who’s missing
|
| Vanished from her wedding
|
| If you have a brave heart walk behind me And I will lead you to her
|
| A boat as black as fishes bowels
|
| He rode 'cross shrowded waters
|
| Untill they came upon the waxen bride
|
| In a dress of gold and silver
|
| She bade the fiddler take her ring
|
| Back safe to her beloved
|
| And said here I remain and suffer not the world
|
| No pain desire or hatred
|
| The fiddler took the ring and turning
|
| Had hardly walked but one step
|
| When he heard a stiffled cry «Forgive me»
|
| As the misty waters took her
|
| Shining bright as summer light
|
| The morning that she married
|
| What unholy place was she taken to that day
|
| And by what cold of darkness. |
