// SeattleSysop // The Elfin Knight ballad from the 1600s translated to Modern English // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elfin_Knight [Ballad] The Elfin Knight stands on yon hill, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! Blowing his horn loud and shrill, And the wind has blown my cloak away. If I had that horn in my chest, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! And the handsome lad here that I love best, And the wind has blown my cloak away. You must make me a fine Holland shirt, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! Without any stitching or needle work, And the wind has blown my cloak away. And you must wash it in yonder well, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! Where the dew never wet, nor the rain ever fell, And the wind has blown my cloak away. Now since you've asked some things of me, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! It's right I ask as many of thee, And the wind has blown my cloak away. My father he asked me an acre of land, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! Between the salt sea and the strand, And the wind has blown my cloak away. And you must plow it with your blowing horn, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! And you must sow it with peppercorn, And the wind has blown my cloak away. When you've done and finished your work, Blow, blow, blow winds, blow! You'll come to me, love, and get your shirt, And the wind has blown my cloak away.
