Song Information[edit]
Lyrics[edit]
- Now the Baron of Eastmarch's fair sorcerous daughter
- was enamored unseemly with the fool of her lord.
- Though her Duke was deemed handsome, he'd a soul vain and petty
- and a dark mind as empty as last summer's gourd.
- And the fool he was clever and he sang for the lady
- like a nightingale piping in a deep forest grove.
- But his station was lowly and his body was ageing
- and their love was as hopeless as if he was stone.
- So the lady has led them, the fool and her husband
- to her cool secret garden by the midsummer's moon.
- And she’s danced them a spell there of shifting and changing
- and left them dumbfounded by sorcery's boon.
- She has left a fool crying to the gods of his fathers.
- She has led her duke laughing to her high chamber door.
- And she's kept him there softly, through two days bright dawnings
- while her servants all gossiped in wonder and awe.
- So the fool died in madness, saying he was ensorcelled
- and the duke only smiled him a sad secret smile.
- Now her duke rules his people with wit and good humor
- and he sings for his lady like the nightingale's song.
- And she's borne him five children, two sons and three daughters
- and they've grown straight and handsome, and sorcerous all.
- And they dance in the garden and they sing in the moonlight,
- like nightingales piping in green forest halls.
