Lyrics The English Ladye and the Knight - Loreena McKennitt
It
was
an
English
ladye
bright,
(The
sun
shines
fair
on
Carlisle
wall,)
And
she
would
marry
a
Scottish
knight,
For
Love
will
still
be
lord
of
all.
Blithely
they
saw
the
rising
sun
When
he
shone
fair
on
Carlisle
wall;
But
they
were
sad
ere
day
was
done,
Though
Love
was
still
the
lord
of
all.
Her
sire
gave
brooch
and
jewel
fine,
Where
the
sun
shines
fair
on
Carlisle
wall;
Her
brother
gave
but
a
flask
of
wine,
For
ire
that
Love
was
lord
of
all.
For
she
had
lands
both
meadow
and
lea,
Where
the
sun
shines
fair
on
Carlisle
wall,
For
he
swore
her
death,
ere
he
would
see
A
Scottish
knight
the
lord
of
all.
That
wine
she
had
not
tasted
well
(The
sun
shines
fair
on
Carlisle
wall)
When
dead,
in
her
true
love′s
arms,
she
fell,
For
Love
was
still
the
lord
of
all!
He
pierced
her
brother
to
the
heart,
Where
the
sun
shines
fair
on
Carlisle
wall
–
So
perish
all
would
true
love
part
That
Love
may
still
be
lord
of
all!
And
then
he
took
the
cross
divine,
Where
the
sun
shines
fair
on
Carlisle
wall,
And
died
for
her
sake
in
Palestine;
So
Love
was
still
the
lord
of
all.
Now
all
ye
lovers,
that
faithful
prove,
(The
sun
shines
fair
on
Carlisle
wall)
Pray
for
their
souls
who
died
for
love,
For
Love
shall
still
be
lord
of
all!
