the distracted maid - peter warlock lyrics
one morning very early, one morning in the spring
i heard a maid in bedlam who mournfully did sing
her chains she rattled on her hands while sweetly thus sang she
i love my love because i know my love loves me
oh cruel were his parents who sent my love to sea
and cruel, cruel was the ship that bore my love from me
yet i love his parents since they’re his, although they’ve ruined me
and i love my love because i know my love loves me
oh should it please the pitying powers to call me to the sky
i’ll claim a guardian angel’s charge around my love to fly
to guard him from all dangers how happy i should be
for i love my love because i know my love loves me
i’ll make a strawy garland, i’ll make it wondrous fine
with roses, lilies, daisies i’ll mix the eglantine
and i’ll present it to my love when he returns from sea
for i love my love because i know my love loves me
oh if i were a little bird to build upon his breast
or if i were a nightingale to sing my love to rest
to gaze upon his lovely eyes all my reward should be
for i love my love because i know my love loves me
oh if i were an eagle to soar in to the sky
i’d gaze around with piercing eyes where i my love might spy
but ah, unhappy maiden, that love you ne’er shall see
yet i love my love because i know my love loves me
