My dearest fairest maiden,
Why is it that you weep
When I have promised you my love
And that your heart I’d keep?

My fair and lonely maiden,
Let your tears not leave your eyes
For you have much to live for,
You are far from your demise

Why is it that you sit there,
Crying out a plea,
When, love, you know that in my heart
You mean so much to me

Why let your tears reflect the pain
Of wrongs done in the past?
For you my dear there is no fear,
This love shall always last.

My truly lovely maiden
No words for you have I,
I will love you from the dawn
Until the sun sleeps in the sky.
