pentangle - lyke wake dirge lyrics
pentangle
“lyke-wake dirge”
this ae nighte, this ae nighte,
every nighte and alle,
fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
and christe receive thy saule.
when thou from hence away art past,
every nighte and alle,
to whinny-muir thou com’st at last;
and christe receive thy saule.
if ever thou gavest hosen and shoon,
every nighte and alle,
sit thee down and put them on;
and christe receive thy saule.
if hosen and shoon thou ne’er gav’st nane
every nighte and alle,
the whinnes sall pr-ck thee to the bare bane;
and christe receive thy saule.
from whinny-muir when thou may’st p-ss,
every nighte and alle,
to brig o’ dread thou com’st at last;
and christe receive thy saule.
from brig o’ dread when thou may’st p-ss,
every nighte and alle,
to purgatory fire thou com’st at last;
and christe receive thy saule.
if ever thou gavest meat or drink,
every nighte and alle,
the fire sall never make thee shrink;
and christe receive thy saule.
if meat or drink thou ne’er gav’st nane,
every nighte and alle,
the fire will burn thee to the bare bane;
and christe receive thy saule.
this ae nighte, this ae nighte,
every nighte and alle,
fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
and christe receive thy saule.
