Full Lyrics
If thou art sleeping, maiden,
Awake, and open thy door.
’Tis the break of day, and we must away,
O’er meadow, and mount, and moor.
Wait not to find thy slippers,
But come with thy naked feet:
We shall have to pass through the dewy grass,
And waters wide and fleet.
from the Portuguese by Gil Vicente (c.1465c.1536)
