Love Shall Be Lord of All
By Sir Walter Scott (17711832)I
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And she would marry a Scottish knight,
For Love will still be lord of all.
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall,
But they were sad ere day was done,
Though Love was still the lord of all.
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
Her brother gave but a flask of wine,
For ire that Love was lord of all.
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And he swore her death, ere he would see
A Scottish knight the lord of all.
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
When dead in her true love’s arms she fell,
For Love was still the lord of all.
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall:—
So perish all would true love part,
That Love may still be lord of all!
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in Palestine;
So Love was still the lord of all.
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
Pray for their souls who died for love,
For Love shall still be lord of all!
