Fire Draw Near LXVII shall henceforth be known as Episode 115, as I will be consolidating the regular and bonus shows from now on. This episode was an absolute pleasure to put together and showcases…
Ian LynchHostI was invited to another man's wedding All by a young maid who proved so unkind But aye, as she thought on her old former lover Thoughts of her darling still ran in her mind When dinner was over and all things were completed, it fell to each young man's lot to sing a love song.
It happened to fall on her old former lover.
To sing these few verses, it will not take me long.
Many's a lord was seven years from his lady.
Many's a lord and never came back again But I was only one a year away from my lady When an inconstant lover to me she became How can you sit at another man's table? How can you drink of another man's wine? How can you lay in the arms of another, You who for so long was a true lover of mine? The bride, she was seated at the head of the table.
Every word she remembered it well, To bear it in mind this fair maid she was not able, And down at the groom's feet she instantly fell.
There is one request and I will ask you for no other.
The first and the last love it very well may be.
Only for this one night I would spend it with my mother The rest of my time I will spend it all on thee The request it was asked and just immediately granted Sighing and sobbing, she went off to her bed.
But early the next morning, when the young groom was awoken, he went into her chamber and found that she was dead.
He lifted her up from her soft and downy pillow Carried her out to the garden so green With sheets and fine pillows Very soon he did surround her Still thinking that his young bride Might come to life again Oh Sally, lovely Sally When you and I were courting You vowed and declared that you loved no one but me But them that depend upon a young maiden's folly Will wither and decay like the bark from the tree All around my hat I will wear a weeping willow All around my hat until death comes to me And if anybody asks me Why I wear the willow It's all for my darling Who I never more will see
