'Till I Fade in the Twilight Moon

Missing image

to be read to this version of the melody of "Greensleeves" 

 

 

 

Come, pluck my strings

to a merry tune

if it plays with love I shall marry you;

 

A thousand ways

to express my love,

this is one that I’ll save here for you...

 

Joyful, joyful in peace, my love,

distant wedding bells shall ring true for you;

quietly, quietly whispering love

o'er the green mountain-meadowed dew.

 

 

By chance, if love's arrows

miss our hearts

then my day shall end in blue solitude;

 

and, if, by chance

love should find its mark

then my days will begin closer to you.

 

Come, my love, play my waking heart

with a new song spun from my love for you;

I will carry your cherished art

‘till I fade in the twilight moon.

 

 

‘Till I fade in the twilight moon.

‘Till I fade in the twilight moon.

Author notes

I went to YouTube to hear Greensleeves, and there were so many different versions that I had to pick one;

I selected one with a slow tempo, more suited to a serious love song…

    OH this is just delightful. I loved the last two lines. Truly a wonderful verse filled with care and love. Goes so beautifully to the melody. Well done and best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela
