Testi

You came, I know not where you came
We met, twas in the dance
There was honey in each word of yours
Glamour in each glance
Though many were around me there
I nothing saw but him
Upon whose brow of stormy gem
Fresh fallen snow seemed dim
It was not for the diamond ring
Upon your lily white hand
It was not for your noble name
It was not for your land
You’ve gone it was a weary night
We parted at the burn
You swore by all the stars above
That you would soon return
That you would soon return my love
And I your bride would be
But backward will the burnie rin
Ere you return to me
It was not for the diamond ring
Upon your lily white hand
It was not for your noble name
It was not for your land
They tell me that same smiling dame
Of lineage like tae thine
Will take thee by the fickle hand
They falsehood placed in mine
They music and the rose red wine
To greet her shall appear
For bridal song a sigh I bring
For bridal pledge a tear
It was not for the diamond ring
Upon your lily white hand
It was not for your noble name
It was not for your land
I would that thou had passed me by
In coldness or in pride
Nor wrought the cruel wrong in her
In whom the truth relied
The hunter’s to the greenwood gone
His spear lies at it’s rest
But he’ll not wound the trusting dare
That shelter’s in his breast
It was not for the diamond ring
Upon your lily white hand
It was not for your noble name
It was not for your land
It was not for the diamond ring
Upon your lily white hand
It was not for your noble name
It was not for your land
