The dawn was breaking bright and fair,
The lark sang in the sky,
When a maid she bound her goIden hair,
With a blithe glance in her eye;
For, who beyond the gay green-wood,
Was awaiting her with joy,
Oh, who but her gallant Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy.
An outlawed man in a land forlorn,
He scorned to turn and fly,
But kept the cause of freedom safe
Up on the mountains high.
Full oft, full oft in the dawning hour,
Full oft in the twilight brown
He met the maid in the woodland bow'r,
Where the stream comes foaming down
For they were faithful and in love
No wars could e'er destroy.
No tyrant's chains found Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy.
"Dear love," she said, "l'm so afraid,
For the foeman's force and you
They've tracked you in the lowland plain
And all the valleys through.
My kinsmen frown when you are named
Your life they would destroy
'Beware,' they say, 'of Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy."
"Fear not, fear not, sweetheart," he cried,
"Fear not the foe for me
No chain shall bind, whate'er betide,
The arm that would be free!
Oh, leave your cruel kin and come,
When the lark is in the sky.
It's with my live I'll guard you,
In the mountains of Pomeroy."
Well the dawn it broke, she rose and fled
From her cruel kin and home;
All full of love she's down the glen
And up the mountainside
But the mist came down and the tempest roared,
And did all around destroy;
And a pale, drowned bride met Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy
The lark sang in the sky,
When a maid she bound her goIden hair,
With a blithe glance in her eye;
For, who beyond the gay green-wood,
Was awaiting her with joy,
Oh, who but her gallant Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy.
An outlawed man in a land forlorn,
He scorned to turn and fly,
But kept the cause of freedom safe
Up on the mountains high.
Full oft, full oft in the dawning hour,
Full oft in the twilight brown
He met the maid in the woodland bow'r,
Where the stream comes foaming down
For they were faithful and in love
No wars could e'er destroy.
No tyrant's chains found Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy.
"Dear love," she said, "l'm so afraid,
For the foeman's force and you
They've tracked you in the lowland plain
And all the valleys through.
My kinsmen frown when you are named
Your life they would destroy
'Beware,' they say, 'of Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy."
"Fear not, fear not, sweetheart," he cried,
"Fear not the foe for me
No chain shall bind, whate'er betide,
The arm that would be free!
Oh, leave your cruel kin and come,
When the lark is in the sky.
It's with my live I'll guard you,
In the mountains of Pomeroy."
Well the dawn it broke, she rose and fled
From her cruel kin and home;
All full of love she's down the glen
And up the mountainside
But the mist came down and the tempest roared,
And did all around destroy;
And a pale, drowned bride met Renardine,
In the mountains of Pomeroy
