Edward Elgar - On the Alm, Op. 27, No. 5 - текст песни (слова)

A mellow bell pears near, 
It has so sweet a sound; 
I know a maiden dear 
With voice as full and round 
A sunlit alm shines clear, 
With clover blossoms sweet; 
There dwells my maiden dear 
And there my love I meet. 
There flying with no fear 
The swallows pass all day, 
And fast, my maiden dear,  
Sees chamois haste away. 
I cannot linger here, 
I cannot wait below; 
To seek my maiden dear. 
I, to the alm must go. 
The mountain's call I hear, 
And up the height I bound; 
I know my maiden dear 
Will mark my Juchhé sound. 
Rejoicing come I here 
My flaxen-haired sweet-heart; 
I love thee maiden dear, 
Nay! Bid me not depart!
