LOOK!—DO YOU SEE NO HORSEMAN THERE?
I
Look!—do you see no horseman there?Hark!—do you hear no drum?
Look out, look out—I'll not despair—
Come—oh my own love—come!
Look from the battlement, look again,
Some straggler soon you'll see:
You're weary with the search, 'tis plain,
Resign the task to me!
Look!—do you see no horseman there?
Hark!—do you hear no drum?
Look out, look out—I'll not despair—
Come, oh my own love, come!
II
Why do you weep? I shed no tear,What tho' so long we wait,
Oh! do not breathe a sound of fear
To greet him at the gate.
I know you think he'll not return,
Dare not to speak your dread!
Or when he comes, my lord will learn
That his poor bride is dead.
Look!—do you see no horseman there?
Hark!—do you hear no drum?
Look out, look out—I'll not despair—
Come, oh my own love, come!
