True my love, but cold the wind
That howls against the cabin door
Sweet the night, but cruel the day
That comes to take my love awayThe fire-light now flickering down
Across the room, the sickle moon
Casting slim and faint reprieve
Upon my love, still fast asleepDarkness, darkness bind him to me
Hide him in your velvet cloak
Come the dawn hell rise and go
A-marching to FenarioBrave my love, but false the King
False his wars, and false his dawn
Damn the gray that gains the sky
Damn the sun, the Kings cold eyeDarkness, darkness bind him to me
Hide him in your velvet cloak
Come the dawn hell rise and go
A-marching to FenarioStay, O sweet, and do not rise
The light that shines comes from thine eyes
The day breaks not, it is my heart
Because that you and I must partDarkness, darkness bind him to me
Hide him in your velvet cloak
Come the dawn hell rise and go
A-marching to Fenario
