| [00:00.660] |
The ring is on my hand, |
| [00:00.730] |
|
| [00:04.860] |
And the wreath is on my brow; |
| [00:10.100] |
Satin and jewels grand |
| [00:14.630] |
|
| [00:14.880] |
Are all at my command, |
| [00:20.570] |
And I am happy now. |
| [00:26.470] |
|
| [00:30.900] |
And my lord he loves me well; |
| [00:32.380] |
Bridal Ballad |
| [00:34.980] |
But, when first he breathed his vow, |
| [00:39.500] |
I felt my bosom swell- |
| [00:43.260] |
For the words rang as a knell, |
| [00:48.120] |
And the voice seemed his who fell |
| [00:51.900] |
In the battle down the dell, |
| [00:56.200] |
And who is happy now. |
| [01:01.970] |
|
| [01:04.510] |
But he spoke to re-assure me, |
| [01:08.910] |
And he kissed my pallid brow, |
| [01:12.830] |
While a reverie came o'er me, |
| [01:17.270] |
And to the church-yard bore me, |
| [01:21.090] |
And I sighed to him before me, |
| [01:25.830] |
Thinking him dead D'Elormie, |
| [01:29.640] |
"Oh, I am happy now!" |
| [01:35.980] |
|
| [02:20.250] |
And thus the words were spoken, |
| [02:24.200] |
And this the plighted vow, |
| [02:28.350] |
And, though my faith be broken, |
| [02:32.520] |
And, though my heart be broken, |
| [02:37.130] |
Here is a ring, as token |
| [02:41.090] |
That I am happy now! |
| [02:46.850] |
|
| [02:49.450] |
Would God I could awaken! |
| [02:53.370] |
For I dream I know not how! |
| [02:57.470] |
And my soul is sorely shaken |
| [03:01.480] |
Lest an evil step be taken,- |
| [03:05.540] |
Lest the dead who is forsaken |
| [03:10.190] |
May not be happy now. |
