[00:05.862]
[00:20.950]As I did travel all on a journey
[00:25.749]Over the wayside and under a dark moon
[00:30.157]Hanging above a mountain
[00:34.260]
[00:36.186]I spied a young man
[00:38.468]Riding a fine horse
[00:41.087]Chasing a white hart and all through the woodland
[00:45.488]There go the hunting and cries
[00:49.700]
[00:54.661]And there followed after
[00:57.186]Ten kings and queens
[00:59.733]Laughing and joking,
[01:01.640]The white hart they'd seen
[01:03.647]Bloodied running into the bushes
[01:09.851]I plume to his helmet,
[01:11.989]A quiver and a bow
[01:14.296]There's nowhere to run now, there's no place to go
[01:18.908]The hunter is fast and ready
[01:23.324]
[01:32.095]Still farther
[01:33.251]I journeyed through the hills and the valleys
[01:38.872]Until upon the verge of despair
[01:42.050]I sat and rested
[01:45.877]And there did pass a princely knight
[01:49.132]Pursuit by a lady
[01:51.565]And this she did say
[01:54.902]"Oh, may I ask you,
[01:57.195]Kind sir, where you are going?"
[02:01.657]And pray tell to me,
[02:03.791]"Sir, why you do hurry?
[02:08.755]Strange that I should meet you here,
[02:12.273]Come sit by me
[02:15.346]I have here a magic horn to deliver"
[02:22.195]"And one drop from
[02:23.739]This silver and gold horn I hold, sir
[02:28.969]Shall prove all to be false,
[02:32.691]Lovers beware!"
[02:35.787]"The gift that you bear for
[02:37.899]Your brother the king
[02:42.599]I gladly would carry to the banquet this evening
[02:49.250]What fair sport this would be
[02:52.672]For the maidens at court"
[02:56.233]
[03:06.070]Wearily, I crossed the stream to the castle
[03:14.477]Where I found shelter from the cold wintry wind
[03:22.763]And food did I have and plenty
[03:27.608]But the Lord and Lady seemed so sad
[03:32.519]For these words they did say unto each other
[03:41.190]"My good Lord,
[03:44.114]All off to war in thy armor
[03:49.996]Leaving me here alone to weep and to worry
[03:58.180]Take care lest misadventure"
[04:02.639]"Shall overcome thy kindly heart
[04:07.494]My good Lord,
[04:10.333]All off to war in thy armor"
[04:16.041]"My Lady, you have no need for to worry
[04:24.486]I'll return victorious and true unto Thee"
[04:33.240]"Take care, lest misadventure
[04:37.710]Shall stain your heart and lead to woe
[04:42.463]My fair Lady you have no need for to worry"
[04:51.526]
[05:55.695]While underneath the spreading oak
[05:57.754]A knight with white device
[05:59.924]Upon a shield of black and deep
[06:02.158]In grief and sorrow sings
[06:04.422]His unrequited love
[06:07.953]"Young noblewoman riding by
[06:10.079]Pray tell me have you seen
[06:12.191]Queen Azelda the fairest maid
[06:14.549]In company she rides
[06:16.703]For I swear to have revenge"
[06:19.293]
[06:25.638]A thousand days have come and passed
[06:27.975]The Lord returns this night
[06:30.087]The victor from the bloody wars
[06:32.322]Proven his fearsome might
[06:34.558]As ever he would claim
[06:38.263]
[06:40.148]But fate has played its wanton game
[06:42.405]The circle come full turn
[06:44.559]The magic horn has done its work
[06:46.820]Cried "Falseness is found out!"
[06:48.904]The sorrowed quest is over
[06:54.258]
