Skirlnaked (Gibson, set by F. Hart) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


O came you by Skirlnaked 
When you came o'er the moor ? 
And did you see an old man 
Standing at the door ? 
And did you see an old man 
Glowering at the door ? 

O came you by Skirlnaked 
When you came o'er the moor ? 
And did you hear a young bride weep 
Behind the fast-shut door ? 
And did you hear a young bride greet 
Behind the fast-shut door ?
