As Her Autumn Song Called
‘The autumn leaves danced in the wind when under moonlight we first met.’
“Thy garments were of woven mist, thy feet with dew-drops dripping wet.”
‘I danced alone, lost in a dream, by none but moonbeams ever kissed.’
“So sweet a sight was never seen a-dancing in a field of mist.”
Ai laurie lantar lassi súrinen
like gold fall the leaves in the wind
ai laurie lantar lassi súrinen
as her autumn song begins.
“Fair maiden, dancest thou alone? Flee not, sweet child, stay where thou art!”
‘What man art thou to stare at me when hidden thou art in the dark?’
“A wanderer who heard thy song, saw thee and fell under thy spell.”
‘No magic powers I possess, yet come and drink from my sweet well.’
Ai laurie lantar lassi súrinen
like gold fall the leaves in the wind
ai laurie lantar lassi súrinen
as her autumn song begins.
‘Leave thy world behind, listen to thy heart,
enchantment thou wilt find, a place sung by the bards.
Step unto my path where the river runs along,
up towards the stars with my autumn song.’
‘Enshrouded by the cloak of night thou hold’st me sweetly in thy arms.’
“I see thine eyes like sparkling lights, thou bindest me with fairy charms.”
‘O lay thy hand upon my heart and kiss the dew-drops from my face.’
“Enwrap me in thy velvet hair and drown me in thy warm embrace.”
Ai laurie lantar lassi súrinen
like gold fall the leaves in the wind
ai laurie lantar lassi súrinen
as her autumn song begins
“Where wilt thou go, my fairy child, and leave me to a mournful day?”
‘The sun doth burn so hot and bright – by light of moon I love to play.’
“Then take me with thee, maiden fair, I cannot live if we must part.”
‘Then come though nothing thou wilt find – I’ve naught to give save mine own heart.’
‘Leave thy world behind, listen to thy heart,
enchantment thou wilt find, a place sung by the bards.
Step unto my path where the river runs along,
up towards the stars with my autumn song.’
