Love from the North

Recording by Leonard Wilson.

Love from the North by Christina Rossetti.

I had a love in soft south land, Beloved through April, far in May; He waited on my lightest breath, And never dared to say me nay.

He saddened if my cheer was sad, But gay he grew if I was gay; We never differed on a hair, My yes his yes, my nay his nay.

"Put yea by for another time, In which I will not say thee nay." He took me in his strong white arms, He bore me on his horse away, O'er crag, morass, and hairbreadth pass, But never asked me yea or nay.

He made me fast with book and bell, With links of love he makes me stay; Till now I've neither heart nor power, Nor will, nor wish to say him nay.

End of Love from the North by Christina Rossetti.

He waited on my lightest breath and never dared to say me nay.

He saddened if my cheer was said, but gay he grew if I was gay.

Till now I've neither heart nor power, nor will nor wish to say him nay.

hour I still may here be stayed, And see the gold air and the silver fade, And the last bird fly into the last light.
