To Return Again On Hallow’s Eve

comes this night, just once, the year
his spirit awaits, for she shall hear
the voice of her love, then quit her bower
on Hallow’s Eve, at the midnight hour

she’s walked the halls these long years past
her cry a sob in the winds so vast
for the one night that she may again meet
the soul for whom her spirit entreats

her passage this night will take her beyond
the halls and walls of her wanting home
as the moon surges up t’ward heaven
to yon meadow’s clearing she shall roam

shhh, you can hear her soft refrain
‘tis the tune Greensleeves she sings again
for her lover sang sweet this ballad
and promised himself to be her lad

and to him, she was Lady Greensleeves
she did him no wrong, but was left to grieve
for to war he went, but did not return
he was her love, all others she spurned

but on an Eve, on a Hallowe’d night
in the meadow’s clearing, under pale moonlight
she caught a glimpse, his spirit came ‘round
then followed him, they retrieved her, drowned

so comes this night, just once, the year
his spirit awaits, for she shall hear
the voice of her love, then quit her bower
on Hallow’s Eve, at the midnight hour
