Maid of Moira

Maid of Moira, meek and mild

High Olympus’ holy child

From idyllic fields you fled

Earth-bound beauty, born and bred

 

‘Midst the Midlands’ mining hills

 Bleak as Blake’s satanic mills

You did plant sweet faery feet

Where the Earth and Heaven meet

 

Maid of Moira cast your spell

On my disenchanted hell

Part me from my pining pain

Smile upon me; send me sane!

 

In my moonlit twilight days

Shed on me love\'s ravished rays

‘Neath the stars you’ve left behind

Kiss me into my right mind!
