Lyrics

I cannot come; I must not come;

I dare not come to thee;

On the eve of St. John I must wander alone:

In thy bower I may not be.\'-

\'\'Now, out on thee, faint-hearted knight!

Thou shouldst not say me nay;

For the eve is sweet, and when lovers meet,

Is worth the whole summer\'s day.

\'\'And I\'ll chain the blood-hound, and the warder shall not sound,

And rushes shall be strew\'d on the stair;

So, by the black rood-stone, and by Holy St. John,

I conjure thee, my love, to be there!\'-

\'\'Though the blood-hound be mute, and the rush beneath my foot,

And the warder his bugle should not blow,

Yet there sleepeth a priest in the chamber to the east,

And my footstep he would know.\'-

\'\'O fear not the priest, who sleepeth to the east!

For to Dryburgh the way he has ta\'en;

And there to say mass, till three days do pass,

For the soul of a knight that is slayne.\'-

\'He turn\'d him around, and grimly he frown\'d;

Then he laugh\'d right scornfully-

\'He who says the mass-rite for the soul of that knight,

May as well say mass for me:

\'\'At the lone midnight hour, when bad spirits have power,

In thy chamber will I be.\'-

With that he was gone, and my lady left alone,

And no more did I see.\'
