WHENCE?
Have you come from the Castle,
Or where have you been,
With the King at the wassail,
At the dance with the Queen?
There's a light in your eye,
And a smile upon your mouth—
What star has shone on you,
North star or south?
Or where have you been,
With the King at the wassail,
At the dance with the Queen?
There's a light in your eye,
And a smile upon your mouth—
What star has shone on you,
North star or south?
O the King were my vassal,
I know not the Queen,
'Mid the birds of Hy-Brasail,
'Tis there I have been;
I heard the high song
Of the fair isle of Youth,
And the Lady of the Land
Laid a kiss on my mouth.
I know not the Queen,
'Mid the birds of Hy-Brasail,
'Tis there I have been;
I heard the high song
Of the fair isle of Youth,
And the Lady of the Land
Laid a kiss on my mouth.
