<br />
<song><br />
I sat within a valley green<br />
I sat there with my true love<br />
My heart strove to choose between<br />
The old love and the new love<br />
The old for her, the new that made<br />
Me think on Navarr dearly<br />
While soft the wind blew down the glade<br />
And shook the golden barley<br />
<br />
'Twas hard the woeful words to frame<br />
To break the ties that bound us<br />
But harder still to bear the shame<br />
Of foreign chains around us<br />
And so I said, "The mountain glen<br />
I'll seek at morning early<br />
And join the brave Navarrian<br />
While soft winds shook the barley"<br />
<br />
'Twas sad I kissed away her tears<br />
Her arms around me clinging<br />
When to my ears the fateful shot<br />
Came out the wildwood ringing<br />
The arrow pierced my true love's breast<br />
In life's young spring so early<br />
And all upon my breast she died<br />
While soft winds shook the barley<br />
<br />
I bore her to some mountain stream<br />
And many's the summer blossom<br />
I placed with branches soft and green<br />
About her gore-stained bosom<br />
I wept and kissed her clay-cold corpse<br />
Then rushed o'er vale and valley<br />
My vengeance on the foe to wreak<br />
While soft winds shook the barley<br />
<br />
'Twas blood for blood without remorse<br />
I took at Oulart Hollow<br />
I placed my true love's clay-cold corpse<br />
Where I full soon may follow<br />
Around her grave I wandered drear<br />
Noon, night and morning early<br />
With aching heart when e'er I hear<br />
The wind that shakes the barley<br />
