Fenario

True my love, but cold the wind
 That howls against the cabin door
 Sweet the night, but cruel the day
 That comes to take my love away
 The fire-light now flickering down
 Across the room, the sickle moon
 Casting slim and faint reprieve
 Upon my love, still fast asleep
 Darkness, darkness bind him to me
 Hide him in your velvet cloak
 Come the dawn he ll rise and go
 A-marching to Fenario
 Brave my love, but false the King
 False his wars, and false his dawn
 Damn the gray that gains the sky
 Damn the sun, the King s cold eye
 Darkness, darkness bind him to me
 Hide him in your velvet cloak
 Come the dawn he ll rise and go
 A-marching to Fenario
 Stay, O sweet, and do not rise
 The light that shines comes from thine eyes
 The day breaks not, it is my heart
 Because that you and I must part
 Darkness, darkness bind him to me
 Hide him in your velvet cloak
 Come the dawn he ll rise and go
 A-marching to Fenario
