A Knot of Blue 1906 'It Happened in Nordland'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 17 Jan 2005

Beneath the linden bough,
fair in their summer green,
you spoke the lover's vows
that crowned me as your Queen.
Beneath the linden boughs
the story old was told.
Oh! will it seem but a summer's dream,
seem a dream when linden leaves are gold.

If you care for me as you say you do
Won't you wear for me
just this knot of blue?
Sign of love that's true,
wear it e'er we part.
This and more I give to you
with it take my heart.
If you care for me oh do.
Wear this little knot of blue!
Sign of love that's true,
wear it e'er we part.
This and more I give to you,
with it take my heart!

Along the woodland way
the place where first we met
with thoughts of you I'll stray
ah me, will you forget?
And when the Autumn gale
o'er field and forest grieves
will each dear word
that the lindens heard
each dear word fade
like the linden leaves.

If you care for me as you say you do
Won't you wear for me
just this knot of blue?
Sign of love that's true,
wear it e'er we part.
This and more I give to you
with it take my heart.
If you care for me oh do.
Wear this little knot of blue!
Sign of love that's true,
wear it e'er we part.
This and more I give to you,
with it take my heart!
