All in Green Went My Love Riding lyrics

All in green went my love riding

on a great horse of gold

into the silver dawn

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling

the merry deer ran before

Fleeter be they than dappled dreams

the sweet swift deer

the red rare deer

Four red roebuck at a white water

the cruel bugle sang before

Horn at hip went my love riding

riding the echo down

into the silver dawn

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling

the level meadows ran before

Softer be they than slippered sleep

the lean lithe deer

the fleet flown deer

Four fleet does at a gold valley

the famished arrow sang before

Bow at belt went my love riding

riding the mountain down

into the silver dawn

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling

the sheer peaks ran before

Paler be they than daunting death

the sleek slim deer

the tall tense deer

Four tall stags at a green mountain

the lucky hunter sang before

All in green went my love riding

on a great horse of gold

into the silver dawn

four lean hounds crouched low and smiling

my heart fell dead before
