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 away The fire-light now flickering down Across the room, the sickle moon Casting slim and faint reprieve Upon my love, still fast asleep Darkness, darkness bind him to me Hide him in your velvet cloak Come the dawn he ll rise and go A-marching to Fenario Brave my love, but false the King False his wars, and false his dawn Damn the gray that gains the sky Damn the sun, the King s cold eye Darkness, darkness bind him to me Hide him in your velvet cloak Come the dawn he ll rise and go A-marching to Fenario Stay, 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 part Darkness, darkness bind him to me Hide him in your velvet cloak Come the dawn he ll rise and go A-marching to Fenario
