The Spellbound Knight |
Lady, darkest thou seek the shore |
Which never woman’s footstep bore |
Where beneath yon rugged steep |
Restless rolls the darksome deep |
Darkest thou though thy blood run chill |
Thither speed at midnight still |
And when horror rules the sky |
Rise for lover lost thy cry |
Darkest thou at that ghastliest hour |
Breathe the word of magic power |
Word that breaks the mermaids spell |
Which false lover knows too well? |
When affrighted specters rise |
Twixt pale floods and ebon skies |
Darkest thou reft of maiden fear |
Bid the water witch appear |
When upon the sallow tide |
Pearly elfin boat does glide |
When the mystic oar is heard |
Like the wing baleful bird |
Darkest thou with a voice of might |
Call upon the spell bound knight |
When the shallop neareth land |
Darkest thou with the snow white hand |
Boldly on the warriors breast |
Place the cross by churchman blest |
When is done this work of peril |
Thou hast won proud Ulster’s earl |
