[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [00:00.66]The ring is on my hand, [00:00.73]Hayley Westenra [00:04.86]And the wreath is on my brow; [00:10.10]Satin and jewels grand [00:14.63] [00:14.88]Are all at my command, [00:20.57]And I am happy now. [00:26.47] [00:30.90]And my lord he loves me well; [00:32.38]Bridal Ballad [00:34.98]But, when first he breathed his vow, [00:39.50]I felt my bosom swell- [00:43.26]For the words rang as a knell, [00:48.12]And the voice seemed his who fell [00:51.90]In the battle down the dell, [00:56.20]And who is happy now. [01:01.97] [01:04.51]But he spoke to re-assure me, [01:08.91]And he kissed my pallid brow, [01:12.83]While a reverie came o'er me, [01:17.27]And to the church-yard bore me, [01:21.09]And I sighed to him before me, [01:25.83]Thinking him dead D'Elormie, [01:29.64]"Oh, I am happy now!" [01:35.98] [02:20.25]And thus the words were spoken, [02:24.20]And this the plighted vow, [02:28.35]And, though my faith be broken, [02:32.52]And, though my heart be broken, [02:37.13]Here is a ring, as token [02:41.09]That I am happy now! [02:46.85] [02:49.45]Would God I could awaken! [02:53.37]For I dream I know not how! [02:57.47]And my soul is sorely shaken [03:01.48]Lest an evil step be taken,- [03:05.54]Lest the dead who is forsaken [03:10.19]May not be happy now.
