A Minor Ballad lyrics

Beyond the wild misty mountain,

Within the valley so free,

There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow,

Soft as the wind and wild as the sea.

When will you love me

As I love thee?

I have no gold to give her,

Nor gowns of soft crimson hue,

Nor poems of love, no rhymes, to bring her

Into my heart so strong so true.

When will you love me

As I love you?

Beyond the wild misty mountain,

Within the valley so free,

There dwells a maid with a heart so mellow,

Soft as the wind and wild as the sea.

When will you love me

As I love thee?
