My heart is wasted with my woe, | |
Oriana. | |
There is no rest for me below, | |
Oriana. | |
When the long dun wolds are ribb'd with snow, | |
And loud the Norland whirlwinds blow, | |
Oriana, | |
Alone I wander to and fro, | |
Oriana. | |
Ere the light on dark was growing, | |
Oriana, | |
At midnight the cock was crowing, | |
Oriana; | |
Winds were blowing, waters flowing, | |
We heard the steeds to battle going, | |
Oriana, | |
Aloud the hollow bugle blowing, | |
Oriana. | |
In the yew-wood black as night, | |
Oriana, | |
Ere I rode into the fight, | |
Oriana, | |
While blissful tears blinded my sight | |
By star-shine and by moonlight, | |
Oriana, | |
I to thee my troth did plight, | |
Oriana. | |
She stood upon the castle wall, | |
Oriana; | |
She watch'd my crest among them all, | |
Oriana; | |
She saw me fight, she heard me call, | |
When forth there stept a foeman tall, | |
Oriana, | |
Atween me and the castle wall, | |
Oriana. | |
The bitter arrow went aside, | |
The false, false arrow went aside, | |
Oriana; | |
The damned arrow glanced aside, | |
And pierced thy heart, my love, my bride, | |
Oriana! | |
Thy heart, my life, my love, my bride, | |
Oriana! | |
O, narrow, narrow was the space, | |
Oriana! | |
Loud, loud rung out the bugle's brays, | |
Oriana. | |
O, deathful stabs were dealt apace, | |
The battle deepen'd in its place, | |
Oriana; | |
But I was down upon my face, | |
Oriana. | |
They should have stabb'd me where I lay, | |
Oriana! | |
How could I rise and come away, | |
Oriana? | |
How could I look upon the day? | |
They should have stabb'd me where I lay, | |
Oriana– | |
They should have trod me into clay, | |
Oriana. | |
O breaking heart that will not break, | |
Oriana! | |
O pale, pale face so sweet and meek, | |
Oriana! | |
Thou smilest, but thou dost not speak, | |
And then the tears run down my cheek, | |
Oriana. | |
What wantest thou? whom dost thou seek, | |
Oriana? | |
I cry aloud; none hear my cries, | |
Oriana. | |
Thou comest atween me and the skies, | |
Oriana. | |
I feel the tears of blood arise | |
Up from my heart unto my eyes, | |
Oriana. | |
Within thy heart my arrow lies, | |
Oriana. | |
O cursed hand! O cursed blow! | |
Oriana! | |
O happy thou that liest low, | |
Oriana! | |
All night the silence seems to flow | |
Beside me in my utter woe, | |
Oriana. | |
A weary, weary way I go, | |
Oriana! | |
When Norland winds pipe down the sea, | |
Oriana, | |
I walk, I dare not think of thee, | |
Oriana. | |
Thou liest beneath the greenwood tree, | |
I dare not die and come to thee, | |
Oriana. | |
I hear the roaring of the sea, | |
Oriana. |
My heart is wasted with my woe, | |
Oriana. | |
There is no rest for me below, | |
Oriana. | |
When the long dun wolds are ribb' d with snow, | |
