The Night Visiting Song

I must away, love, I can no longer tarry
 This morning's tempest I have to cross
 I must be guided without a stumble
 Into the arms I love the most.
 And when he came to his true love's dwelling
 He knelt down gently upon a stone
 And through her window he whispered lowly
 Is my true lover within at home?
 Wake up wake up love it is thine own true lover
 Wake up wake up love and let me in
 For I am tired love and oh so weary
 And more than near drenched to the skin.
 She's raised her off her down soft pillow
 She's raised her off and she's let him in
 And they were locked in each other's arms
 Until that long night was past and gone.
 And when that long night was passed and over,
 And when the small clouds began to grow
 He's taken her hand and they've kissed and parted
 And he saddled and mounted and away did go.
 I must away love I can no longer tarry
 This morning's tempest I have to cross
 I must be guided without a stumble
 Into the arms I love the most.
