Charles Ives - The Love Song of Har Dyal lyrics

Alone upon the housetops to the North I turn and watch the lightning in the sky The glamour of thy footsteps in the North Come back to me, Beloved, or I die! Below my feet the still bazar is laid Far, far below the weary camels lie The camels and the captives of thy raid Come back, Beloved, or I die! My father's wife is old and harsh with years And drudge of all my father's house am I My bread is sorrow and my drink is tears Come back to me, Beloved, or I die!
