emma topping - maude clare كلمات أغنية

out of the church she followed them
with a lofty step and mien:
his bride was like a village maid
maude clare was like a queen

“son thomas, ” his lady mother said
with smiles, almost with tears:
“may nell and you but live as true
as we have done for years;

“your father thirty years ago
had just your tale to tell;
but he was not so pale as you
nor i so pale as nell.”

my lord was pale with inward strife
and nell was pale with pride;
my lord gazed long on pale maude clare
or ever he kissеd the bride

“lo, i have brought my gift, my lord
havе brought my gift, ” she said:
to bless the hearth, to bless the board
to bless the marriage_bed

“here’s my half of the golden chain
you wore about your neck
that day we waded ankle_deep
for lilies in the beck:
“here’s my half of the faded leaves
we plucked from the budding bough
with feet amongst the lily leaves, _
the lilies are budding now.”

he strove to match her scorn with scorn
he faltered in his place:
“lady, ” he said, _ “maude clare, ” he said, _
“maude clare, ” – and hid his face

she turn’d to nell: “my lady nell
i have a gift for you;
though, were it fruit, the blooms were gone
or, were it flowers, the dew

“take my share of a fickle heart
mine of a paltry love:
take it or leave it as you will
i wash my hands thereof.”

“and what you leave, ” said nell, “i’ll take
and what you spurn, i’ll wear;
for he’s my lord for better and worse
and him i love maude clare

“yea, though you’re taller by the head
more wise and much more fair:
i’ll love him till he loves me best
me best of all maude clare
