FOLK SONG (7)

Previous

O’er the mountains high he went,

Love, love!

In the meadows above

I seek for my love.

With a weary sigh he went.

Love, love!

To fight thou art gone

While I stay here alone.

Neither quail nor partridge stirred.

Love, love!

In the meadows above

I look for my love

And he left without a word.

Love, love!

To fight thou art gone

While I stay here alone.

Like a flower’s fragrance sweet

He came past, and vanished fleet.

I beheld him and I loved—

But we never more shall meet.

When my lover rode away

Not a farewell did I say;

None there is to help him now—

Sourb Carapet,1 bless his way!


1 The patron saint of lovers.?
