Early One Morning |
Early one morning, just as the sun was rising |
I heard a maid singing in the valley below; |
«O don’t deceive me |
O do not leave me! |
How could you use a poor maiden so?» |
«O gay is the garland, fresh are the roses |
I’ve culled from the garden to bind on thy brow |
O don’t deceive me |
O do not leave me! |
How could you use a poor maiden so?» |
«Remember the vows that you made to your Mary |
Remember the bow’r where you vow’d to be true; |
O don’t deceive me |
O never leave me! |
How could you use a poor maiden so?» |
Thus sung the poor maiden, her sorrow bewailing |
Thus sung the poor maiden in the valley below; |
«O don’t deceive me |
O do not leave me! |
How could you use a poor maiden so?» |
