Black But Comely |
| I’m black but comely |
| As a night shot with stars |
| I’m black but comely |
| As a night shot with stars |
| And I’m not a tree of sticks |
| No, I’m not a tree of sticks |
| But a forest of hemlocks and beeches |
| Of waters dark as wine from boundless reaches |
| Black but comely |
| As a night shot with stars |
| I tried to find you |
| And I missed you by a mile |
| The soldiers found me |
| And they took me for a whore |
| If I can’t have you |
| I can love you just the same |
| I’m black but comely |
| As the smoke of home |
| I’m black but comely |
| As the smoke of home |
| And I’m not a tree of sticks |
| No. I’m not a tree of sticks |
| But a forest of hemlocks and beeches |
| Of waters dark as wine from boundless reaches |
| Black but comely |
| As a night shot with stars |
| As a night shot with stars |
