Away

My lefe is faren in a lond
Alas! why is he so?
And I am so sore bound
I may nat com her to
He hath my hert in hold,
Where-ever he ride or go,
With trew love a thousandfold.

My love has left for a faraway land
Alas! - why would he do this?
and here I am so tied and bound
I cannot go where he is
so he holds my heart in his hands
whereever he comes or goes
and with my true love a thousandfold
