Did you go then to the grеy rocks
And behind a wind-swept crevicе there
Did you find our Mary gently waiting
Our lady,sweet and fair?
Did the sun shine brightly 'round her
Making gold darts through her hair?
And will you stay silent as the day
When the wind has left the air?
Oh, my Mary, long we wait here
While the hunter combs the mountains high
And the soft wind whispers "Guard her,"
Though as hunted we must die
Oh, the dawn is longtime coming
And the long night clings with care
But they shall not find with their chains to bind
My Mary, pure and fair
