katharine blake - maiden of the mountain deep lyrics

[verse 1]
but oh, when shall that morrow be
that my true love shall waken?
when shall we meet, refined and free
amid the moorland bracken?
full low and lonely is thy bed
the worm flies o’er thy pillow;
where now the lips so comely red
that kissed me ‘neath the willow?

[chorus]
lie still, my love, lie still and sleep
long is the night of sorrow;
the maiden of the mountain deep
shall meet you on the morrow

[verse 2]
though moons steal o’er an’ seasons fly
on time’s swift wings unstaying
yet there’s a spirit in the sky
that live’s o’еr thy decaying
in domes benеath the water springs
no end hath my sojourning;
an’ to this land of fading things
far hence be thy returning;
[chorus]
lie still, my love, lie still and sleep
long is the night of sorrow;
the maiden of the mountain deep
shall meet you on the morrow

[verse 3]
for spirits now have left the deep
their long last farewell taken;
lie still my love, lie still an’ sleep
the day is near the breaking!
the mermaid o’er thy grave shall weep
without one breath of scorning;
lie still my love, lie still an’ sleep
and fare thee well till morning!

[chorus]
lie still, my love, lie still and sleep
long is the night of sorrow;
the maiden of the mountain deep
shall meet you on the morrow
