Maiden of the misty morning
Sylvan soul from sounding sea
When you rise with daystar dawning
Light my lost eternity
Maiden, mend my heart you’ve broken
Heal me with your tender touch
Soothe me with soft words you’ve spoken
Your sweet voice I‘ve missed so much
Maiden, we were once enchanted
Deep in love, our lives entwined
Graciously we had been granted
Love that very few folk find
Maiden, what did make you wander?
Far across the ocean blue
Finest years set out to squander
Twenty one to fifty two!
Maiden may you never leave me
Nor forsake me when I’m old
Closer come, till I can breathe thee
Gently in my arms enfold
Maiden of the misty morning
Meet me at the kissing gate
At the fair Aurora’s dawning
Share with me our first love’s fate
