And my lord he loves me well
Gm F Gm
But, when first he breathed his vow

In the battle down the dell

And who is happy now
Gm Fsus2 Gm
Verse
Gm Dm
But he spoke to re-assure me

And he kissed my pallid brow

While a reverie came o'er me

And I sighed to him before me

Thinking him dead D'Elormi

And thus the words were spoken,

And this the plighted vow

And, though my heart be broken

Here is a ring, as token
Gm F Gm
That I am happy now!

Verse
Gm Dm
Would God I could awaken!

For I dream I know not how!

And my soul is sorely shaken

Lest an evil step be taken

Lest the dead who is forsaken
Gm F Gm
May not be happy now
