My lady is so fair And bright the river flows Beneath her window shows A mirror for her face and for her hair A mirror for her face and for her hair
If I had words to tell A gallant lover then I would be And offer on a bended knee All that I am and serve her well All that I am and serve her well
And when the soft wind blows Reeds by the water mere Turning their heads can hear The sound of her voice where she goes The sound of her voice where she goes
If I could make the gentle rain Play music for her ears, to hear my name
My lady is so fair And bright the river flows Beneath her window shows A mirror for her face and for her hair A mirror for her face and for her hair
