misconception - arnold bax lyrics

what hath he done the luckless fellow
that thou wilt speak to him no more?
are ye not of the self*same village?
why wilt thou sister not sit down by me
and what awaitest thou to stand so long?
look down the way no longer
watch the old well no longer
but rather hearken to me the while i sing
what hath he done, the luckless fellow
that thou wilt speak to him no more?
are ye not of the self*same village?

down to the riversidе we went togethеr
he said: ‘now hearken, hearken to the wind that rustles thro’ the leaves’
i said ‘o see, o see the merry sunshine that shineth thro’ the wavelet’
he said ‘i love, i swear i love a woman whom thou knowest not’
i said ‘i love, i swear, i love a lad
of whom thou knowest naught’
he said ‘that woman ceaseless weeps for me’
and i replied ‘that lad awaiteth me’
then from the river we went hence together

and i, i knew full well that he was my lad
and he, he surely knew
i was that woman
but yet because of all that sunshine in the water
and of the wind that rustled thro’ the leaves
we both were silent
we kept silence both
what hath he done the luckless fellow
that thou wilt speak to him no more?
are ye not of the self*same village?
