AELFTHRYTH’S
SONG
Dance
the centuries my love
Playing ducks and drakes
For we have lived in many times-
Sung our songs in other climes
And seen a thousand mornings break
My love.
Hold my hand as we go out
Know we wake again
Dance the centuries my dear
Fading out I hold you near
Oh keep me in your arms and then-
My love.
Tread a merry measure now
Or step to sombre strains
For we may walk the gentle hills
An ancient promise we fulfil
In sunlight and in falling rain
My love
Dance the centuries my love
Forever you are mine
I will hold you in my heart
Though fate may send us far apart
Oh say you love me one more time
My love.
Lay you down beside me love
Kiss me once again
That we may dream of golden days
And see the heavens all ablaze
Until we wake in who knows when?
My love.
Aelfthryth's Song
The
Clansman's Words to his Love
The
Courtship of Kate and Will.
The
Knight's Lady Weeps For Shame
The
Seaman's Lady at her Prayers
