| [00:25.76] |
Take the robe from off thy form, |
| [00:31.45] |
And cease thine hair to braid, |
| [00:38.08] |
Thy love to thee will come no more, |
| [00:43.65] |
He woos another maid, |
| [00:50.13] |
And broken are the many vows, |
| [00:56.32] |
That he hath pledged to thee, |
| [01:02.47] |
He woos another maid, and this, |
| [01:08.23] |
My bridal morn should be. |
| [01:13.42] |
|
| [01:16.00] |
False to me oh say not so, |
| [01:21.65] |
For if thy tale be true, |
| [01:27.71] |
And the one that I love be lost to me, |
| [01:33.96] |
I shall not live to rue, |
| [01:40.81] |
And if he do take another mate, |
| [01:46.77] |
Before the holy shrine, |
| [01:53.76] |
Another ne'er shall have my heart, |
| [01:59.71] |
Death will be a friend of mine. |
| [02:05.45] |
|
| [02:23.54] |
She takes the robes from off her form, |
| [02:29.40] |
And dons a snow white gown, |
| [02:35.48] |
She loosened from her locks the braid, |
| [02:41.56] |
And let her hair hang down, |
| [02:47.86] |
She flung around her lovely head, |
| [02:54.60] |
The thin shround of her veil, |
| [03:00.79] |
To hide the fast ascending tears, |
| [03:06.45] |
|
| [03:06.97] |
And cheek of moon ray pale. |
| [03:11.91] |
|
| [03:14.32] |
With hurried yet, with careful steps, |
| [03:20.13] |
Into the church she hides, |
| [03:26.96] |
And there she saw the false of heart, |
| [03:32.77] |
Receive another bride, |
| [03:39.09] |
The bridal pageant swept along, |
| [03:45.62] |
'Til all the train had fled, |
| [03:51.87] |
Why stands the lone deserted one, |
| [03:58.21] |
She slumbers with the dead |
