Take It

By the pale of dawn I took back my love And by the dark of night I told two lies Never again will I wish For a lover's bloodstained kiss Nor remember him with weeping eyes You stole me from a peaceable sleeping And brought me to the enchanted place Then turned me loose upon the wind And showed to me a stranger's face Take from me all youth and grace Beauty, wit and strength to care Take from me my dreaming eyes Rosy mouth and twilight hair Take from me this heart forlorn Newly formed and newly torn And throw it to the raging sea Else you will not depart from me
