Maiden In The Moor

Maiden in the moor lay,
    In the moor lay--
Seven nights full, seven nights full.
Maiden in the moor lay--
Seven nights full and a day.

Good was her meat.
What was her meat?
    The primrose and the--
    The primrose and the--
Good was her meat.
What was her meat?
    The primrose and the violet.

Good was her drink.
What was her drink?
    The chilled water of the--
    The chilled water of the--
Good was her drink.hat was her drink?
    The chilled water of the well spring.

Good was her bower.
What was her bower?
    The red rose and the--
    The red rose and the-
Good was her bower.
What was her bower?
    The red rose and the lily flower.
