My Love is a rider! (and life's at its pace! ) / He rides to the battle -- he rides to the chase. / His armour is burnished, his nodding plume's curled. / (And would I could follow him over the world! )
Nor distance, nor danger can keep us apart. / He comes with the shadows and lies on my heart. / He's gone when the midnight its pinions has furled. / (And would I could follow him over the world! )
I'd gladly arise -- don bonnet and sword, / And follow the steps of my Love and my Lord. / I'd stand by his side when the lances are hurled. / (And would I could follow him over the world! )
