about

Re-upload from our debut full-length album, "It's Not the Coat Makes the Gentleman" (2007).

lyrics

I saw her at the hour of midnight,
When all around was sad and still;
She flitted o’er the lawn by moonlight,
And climbed the distant hill.
She had an air of grace seraphic
A form surpassing fair
A wand’ring mist by moonbeams kiss’d,
She seemed a thing of air..
But once, when by the village fireside,
A tale I heard the grandames tell
About a lad and love born maiden,
Who erst with them did dwell;
That death, grim death with hand unsparing
Had borne the lad away;
And the maiden left with mind bereft
Of reason’s ready play.
That as the chill of death came o’er him,
He called his loved one to his side,
And spoke that none but her might hear him,
Then calmly smiled and died;
That never, since that day of sorrow
Have any seen the maid,
Though rumors light hint that at night
She sometimes meets his shade.
Though rumors light hint that at night
She sometimes meets his shade.
