A Minor Ballad

Beyond the wild misty mountain

Within the valley so free

There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow

Soft as the wind and wild as the sea

When will you love me

As I love thee

I have no gold to give her

Nor gowns of soft crimson hue

Nor poems of love no rhymes to bring her

Into my heart so strong so true

When will you love me

As I love you

Beyond the wild misty mountain

Within the valley so free

There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow

Soft as the wind and wild as the sea

When will you love me

As I love thee
