Mediaeval Baebes Passing Thus Alone Lyrics

Passing Thus Alone Lyrics

Passing thus alone, through the silent forest

Many a grievous groan sounded in her ear

Where she heard a man to lament the sorest

Chance that ever came, forc'd by deadly strife



Farewell, me dear, quoth he

Whom I shall never see

For why my life is at an end for thy sweet sake I die

Through villains cruelty to show I am a faithful friend



Here lie I a bleeding while my thoughts are feeding

On the rarest beauty found, oh hard hap that may be

Little knows my lady

My heart blood lies on the ground
