Three Ravens

Lyrics

A knight has fallen here He lies beneath his shield Three ravens fly down wind and sky To watch and wait He will never rise His staring eyes now are blind And above him, the ravens sing At evening down there came a doe Through the tall pasture grass She held her head so high and proud The tears stood in her eyes And she cried I have come, I will stay I have come, I will stay She lifted up his head And kissed his wounds so red And by his side she wept and died In bitterness The racing moon will trace Their resting place Till dawn When above them With shining wings And hungry eyes The ravens sing
