The Ballad of Oriana

[00:14.32] [00:14.37]My heart is wasted with my woe, [00:18.46]Oriana. [00:23.44]There is no rest for me below, [00:28.32]Oriana. [00:33.86]When long dun wolds are ribb'd with snow, [00:39.52]And loud the Norland whirlwinds blow, [00:44.71]Alone I wander to and fro, [00:48.38]Oriana. [00:56.24] [00:57.49]In the yew-wood black as night, [01:01.64]Oriana. [01:07.64]Ere I rode into the fight, [01:12.10]Oriana. [01:17.54]While blissful tears blinded my sight [01:22.27]By star-shine and by moonlight [01:28.25]I to thee my troth did plight, [01:32.71]Oriana. [01:39.43] [01:43.02]She stood upon the castle wall, [01:45.24]Oriana. [01:49.25]She watch’d my crest among them all, [01:55.91]Oriana. [02:00.51]She saw me fight, she heard me call, [02:05.04]When forth there stept a foeman tall, [02:11.45]Atween me and the castle wall, [02:15.52]Oriana. [02:22.11] [02:23.50]The bitter arrow went aside, [02:28.89]Oriana. [02:33.25]The false, false arrow went aside, [02:38.60]Oriana. [02:44.14]The damned arrow glanced aside, [02:49.73]And pierced thy heart my love my bride, [02:54.13]Thy heart, my life, my love, my bride, [02:56.04] Oriana. [03:06.77] [03:50.71]They should have stabb’d me where I lay, [03:55.14]Oriana! [04:00.95]How could I rise and come away, [04:05.30]Oriana? [04:10.17]How could I look upon the day? [04:16.93]They should have stabb’d me where I lay, [04:21.56]They should have trod me into clay, [04:25.80]Oriana. [04:33.81] [04:34.94]O breaking heart that will not break, [04:38.37]Oriana! [04:43.74]O pale, pale face so sweet and meek, [04:48.01]Oriana! [04:53.68]Thou smilest, but thou dost not speak, [04:59.20]And then the tears run down my cheek, [05:04.01]What wantest thou? Whom dost thou seek, [05:09.08]Oriana? [05:16.39] [05:17.79]I cry aloud: none hear my cries, [05:22.37]Oriana. [05:27.64]Thou comest atween me and the skies, [05:32.91]Oriana. [05:37.14]I feel the tears of blood arise [05:43.91]Up from my heart unto my eyes [05:48.20]Within thy heart my arrow lies, [05:52.38]Oriana. [05:59.02] [06:21.70]When Norland winds pipe down the sea, [06:26.18]Oriana, [06:31.08]I walk, I dare not think of thee, [06:36.45] Oriana. [06:41.27]Thou liest beneath the greenwood true, [06:46.98]I dare not die and come to thee, [06:51.51]I hear the roaring of the sea, [06:57.37]Oriana.
