She joins the crowds as the watch with awe The soldiers marching home from war They beat the drums and they blow their horns Victorious they have returned The children run to their fathers arms Their wives relieved they're safe from harm Leonora's joy to anguish turns Her William has not returned My child may God look down on thee Her mother says to sooth her grief Oh mother! Mother! He is gone I know not how to carry on I curse the God whom with wilful malice Took my sweet William from me Does he heed my grief? Can he comprehend Of the pain that he's made me feel? God please have mercy on this child And forgive her for this sin She knows not what she means Lord As her anguish is so strong within She hears the steady drum of hooves outside And then she hears her William's voice My darling ride away with me tonight For love our marriage bed awaits One hundred miles must we ride tonight Before the first light of the dawn Our marriage bed has room for both of us Four sides, a bottom and a lid So charging onward through the night The sparks spurt, up the stones run round And as they hurried through the gates Her William's armour fell away Gone were the eyes that she fell in love with, Gone the lips she longed to kiss Now stands a morte with a grinning skull, Draped in a cloak that hangs like mist
