Ah lady I've been with thy owm true love
And he greets thee well by me;
This night will he be at thy bower window,
And dye or set thee free.
Now day was gone and night was come
And a' were fast asleep,——
All save the Lady Emmeline,
Wha sat in her bower to weep.
And soon she heard her true love's voice
Now whispering at the wall,
Awake, awake, my dear lady:
Tis I thy true love call.
Awake, awake, my lady dear.
Come mount this fair palfray:
This ladder of ropes will let thee down,
I’ll carry thee hence away.
Nay now, now nay, thou gentle knight
Now nay this may not be;
For aye should I tint my maiden fame,
If alane I should wend with thee.
O lady! thou with a knight sae true
Mayst safely wend alone;
To my Lady Mother I will thee bring
Where marriage shall make us one
My father he is a baron bold,
