Canto by Morgenblume & Marijan
Knight
Lady, Let me take from you a lock of golden hair
To weave into my aching heart a chain to keep you there
Lady
Sir Knight you need no talisman to bind my heart to you
As surely as with chains of steel my love is ever true
Knight
Then take from me this token, think daily you to me
So I might sense your feeling and you my presence see
Lady
Sir I need no token to think upon your name
As often as you think of me then I will think the same
Instrumental
Knight
Lady, thou art contrary you'll not recieve or give
What point in my returning if this is how we'll live?
Lady
To keep your good opinion I'll take your our token, cut my hair
But it's not by sorcery alone that true love we can share
Knight
Then take from me the moonlight, it reflects now in my eyes
and ever in the deepest night it's then you'll think of I
Lady
No greater sweet suggestion could you think to me bestow
And you'll see me also up there in the silver starry glow
Instrumental
Then walked the Knight and Lady spreading laughter in their wake
The path that's seldon trodden the path they chose to take.
