Set Me Free

With a heavy heart alone
I quest for love unknown,
Wearily I travel the way
My lonesome heart, I pray
Sing to me a song
to last all winter long.

Lest woe fills my mind
O wily wind go find,
      A love of much delight
      ere my soul takes flight,

That I die content bless me
 then set my spirit free.
