Mary of the Moor |
It was on one cold wintery nite, |
When the wind blew across the wild moor. |
When Mary came wandering home with her child, |
'Till she came to her own fathers door. |
Father dear father she cried, |
Come down and open the door. |
Or the child in my arms will perish and die |
From the winds that blow across the wild moor. |
Why did I leave this fair spot, |
Where once I was happy and free, |
I am now tune to roam without friends or a home, |
And no one to take pity on me |
But her father was deaf to her cries, |
Not a sound of her voice did he hear. |
So the watchdog did howl, and the village bells tolled, |
And the wind blew across the wild moor. |
Oh how the old man must’ve felt, |
When he came to the door on next morn, |
And he found Mary dead but the child still alive, |
Closely grasped in his dead mothers arms. |
In anger he tore his grey hair. |
And the tears down his cheeks they did pour. |
When he saw how that nite she had perished and died. |
From the wind that blew across the wild moor. |
In grief the old man pined away, |
And the child to its mother went soon. |
And no one they say have lived that to these days |
And the cottage to ruin has gone. |
But the villagers point out the spot, |
Where the willow pours over the door. |
Saying there Mary died once a gay village find, |
From the wind that blew across the wild moor. |
