Charmer

  stay my charmer
  tune—“an gille dubh ciar-dhubh.”
  stay my charmer, can you leave me?
  cruel, cruel to deceive me;
  well you know how much you grieve me;
  cruel charmer, can you go!
  cruel charmer, can you go!
  by my love so ill-requited,
  by the faith you fondly plighted,
  by the pangs of lovers slighted,
  do not, do not liave me so!
  do not, do not leave me so!
