Dark Maiden
One fine morning, just at daybreak,
I looked o’er my neighbour’s wall.
Saw a maiden with her burden,
Dark eyes and a scarlet shawl.
My blood rushed, I blushed with passion,
Suddenly the words burst out:
– Let us go together
To a place I know about!
Tender, yearning, curling round our ardent joy
Fronds entwining, you’re my girl and I’m your boy.
Leaves of maple and boughs of apple
That none can ever destroy.
But the dark-eyed tender maiden
Sharply then to me replied:
“Partisans for truth and freedom
Call on you to choose a side.
On this morn, the clans are gath’ring;
Burnt out from their buts and bens.
Fiery cross is calling
Through the forests and the glens.”
Tender, yearning, curled round our ardent joy.
In the forest, I’m no girl and you’re no boy.
Leaves of maple and boughs of apple,
That none can ever destroy.
Then I watched my dark-eyed maiden
Walk into the woods alone.
But her leaving caused my grieving
And my heart it turned to stone.
Often late at night I wandered
In the forest, through the glen –
Then I spied my maiden
With her band of merry men!
Tender, yearning, curling round our ardent joy
Welcome comrade, you’re a man now, not a boy!
Leaves of maple and boughs of apple,
That none can ever destroy.
Tender, yearning, yes, curling round our ardent joy.
Welcome comrade, you’re a man now, not a boy!38
Leaves of maple and boughs of apple,
That none can ever destroy
