Lady Come Down
The western wind is blowing fair
Across the dark Aegean sea,
And at the secret marble stair
My Tyrian galley waits for thee.
Come down! The purple sail is spread,
The watchman sleeps within the town,
O leave thy lily-flowered bed,
O Lady mine come down, come down!
Lady, come down!
Come down
Lady come down
Lady come down
She will not come, I know her well,
Of lover's vows she hath no care,
And little good a man can tell
Of one so cruel and so fair.
True love is but a woman's toy,
They never know the lover's pain,
And I who loved as loves a boy
Must love in vain, must love in vain.
Come down, Lady come down
Come down, Lady come down
Come down!
Lady come down
Come down, Lady come down
Across the dark Aegean sea,
And at the secret marble stair
My Tyrian galley waits for thee.
Come down! The purple sail is spread,
The watchman sleeps within the town,
O leave thy lily-flowered bed,
O Lady mine come down, come down!
Lady, come down!
Come down
Lady come down
Lady come down
She will not come, I know her well,
Of lover's vows she hath no care,
And little good a man can tell
Of one so cruel and so fair.
True love is but a woman's toy,
They never know the lover's pain,
And I who loved as loves a boy
Must love in vain, must love in vain.
Come down, Lady come down
Come down, Lady come down
Come down!
Lady come down
Come down, Lady come down
