arthur sullivan - edward gray lyrics

sweet emma moreland of yonder town
met me walking on yonder way
“and have you lost your heart?” she said;
“and are you married yet, edward gray?”
sweet emma moreland spoke to me:
bitterly weeping i turned away:
“sweet emma moreland, love no more
can touch the heart of edward gray

“ellen adair, she loved me well
against her father’s and mother’s will:
today i sat for an hour and wept
by ellen’s grave, on the windy hill
shy she was, and i thought her cold;
thought her proud, and fled over the sea;
fill’d i was with folly and spite
when ellеn adair was dying for me
“cruel, cruel thе words i said!
cruelly came they back today:
‘you’re too slight and fickle,’ i said
‘to trouble the heart of edward gray.’
there i put my face in the grass
whisper’d, ‘listen to my despair:
i repent me of all i did:
speak a little, speak a little
ellen adair!’

“then i took a pencil and wrote
on the mossy stone as i lay
‘here lies the body of ellen adair;
and here the heart of edward gray!’

love may come and love may go
and fly, like a bird, from tree to tree:
but i will love no more, no more
till ellen adair come back to me
“bitterly wept i over the stone:
bitterly weeping i turned away:
there lies the body of ellen adair;
and there the heart of edward gray!”
