But line it well that I lie not cold, Mother, my mother. She laid her cheek to the velvet and vair, One with another; She laid her arms up under her hair. (Mother, my mother.) Her gold hair fell through her arms fu' low, One with another: Lord God, bring me out of woe! (Mother, my mother.) Her gold hair fell in the gay reeds green, One with another: Lord God, bring me out of teen! (Mother, my mother.) * * * * * O mother, where is my lady gone? (One with another.) In the bride-chamber she makes sore moan: (Mother, my mother.) Her hair falls over the velvet and vair, (One with another) Her great soft tears fall over her hair. (Mother, my mother.) |
