love from the truth - emma topping lyrics
i had a love in soft south land
beloved through april far in may;
he waited on my lightest breath
and never dared to say me nay
he saddened if my cheer was sad
but gay he grew if i was gay;
we never differed on a hair
my yes his yes, my nay his nay
the wedding hour was come, the aisles
were flushed with sun and flowers that day;
i pacing balanced in my thoughts:
‘it’s quite too late to think of nay.’—
my bridegroom answered in his turn
myself had almost answered ‘yea:’
when through the flashing nave i heard
a struggle and resounding ‘nay.’
bridemaids and bridegroom shrank in fear
but i stood high who stood at bay:
‘and if i answer yea, fair sir
what man art thou to bar with nay?’
he was a strong man from the north
light*locked, with eyes of dangerous grey:
‘put yea by for another time
in which i will not say thee nay.’
he took me in his strong white arms
he bore me on his horse away
o’er crag, morass, and hairbreadth pass
but never asked me yea or nay
he made me fast with book and bell
with links of love he makes me stay;
till now i’ve neither heart nor power
nor will nor wish to say him nay
