(Author unknown, folk song)


All along Lake Eridanus

He a squire and she a laundress

'Neath a summer sunset flawless

Hidden kisses quick and costless

And feelings they awaken


All along Lake Eridanus

She sang "Berryn smiles upon us

See the map that she has drawn us

Past the shoreline's bridal broadness

To groves where vows are taken."


All along Lake Eridanus

He sand to her daring, dauntless

"Though the road is hard and monstrous

I'd ride to keep you safe and spotless

Knight, errant and unshaken."


So all along Lake Eridanus

She, alone in wakeful wanness

Prays for a love away and gone thus

Untouched skies gone stale and starless

From chivalry mistaken.
