Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And he swore her death ere he would see
A Scottish knight the lord of all!

The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
When dead, in her true lover's arms, she fell,
For Love was still the lord of all!

When dead, in her true lover's arms, she fell,
For Love was still the lord of all!
He pierced her brother to the heart,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
So perish all would true love part,
That Love may still be lord of all!
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
So perish all would true love part,
That Love may still be lord of all!

Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in Palestine,
So Love was still the lord of all!
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in Palestine,
So Love was still the lord of all!
