Bridal Ballad Lyrics - Singles - Hayley Westenra

Bridal Ballad 

Poem lyrics of Bridal Ballad by Edgar Allan Poe. 

The ring is on my hand, 

And the wreath is on my brow; 

Satin and jewels grand 

Are all at my command, 

And I am happy now. 

And my lord he loves me well; 

But, when first he breathed his vow, 

I felt my bosom swell - 

For the words rang as a knell, 

And the voice seemed his who fell 

In the battle down the dell, 

And who is happy now.

But he spoke to re-assure me, 

And he kissed my pallid brow, 

While a reverie came o'er me, 

And to the church-yard bore me, 

And I sighed to him before me, 

Thinking him dead D'Elormie, 

"Oh, I am happy now!" 

And thus the words were spoken, 

And this the plighted vow, 

And, though my faith be broken, 

And, though my heart be broken, 

Here is a ring, as token 

That I am happy now!

Would God I could awaken! 

For I dream I know not how! 

And my soul is sorely shaken 

Lest an evil step be taken, - 

Lest the dead who is forsaken 

May not be happy now.
