1 4 1 6m7And clear was the paley moon___, when his shadow passed him by
Be-low the hills were the brightest stars when he heard the owlet cry
Saying: Why do you ride this way___, and wherefore came you here
1 57 6m 4 5I seek the Witch of the Westmor-land, who dwells by the winding mere
1 4 1 6m7And it's weary by the Ulls-water___ and the misty brake fern way
Till through the cleft of the Kirkstane Pass, the winding water lay
He said: Lie down, my brindled hound___, and rest ye, my good grey hawk
1 57 6m 4 5And thee, my steed, may graze thy fill, for I must dis-mount and walk
1 4 1 6m7But come when you hear my horn___, and answer swift the call
For I fear ere the sun will rise this morn ye will serve me best of all
And it's down to the water's brim___, he's born the rowan shield
1 57 6m 4 5And the golden-rod he has cast in, to see what the lake might yield
1 4 1 6m7And wet rose she from the lake___, and fast and fleet went she
One half the form of a maiden fair with a jet black mare's bo-dy
