the clear-browed one

Donovan

The clear-browed one
approaching o'er the water
soft the silver hues of purple
inward gazing
where the ripple on the lake
The clear-browed one
The clear-browed one

The pure clear girl
awaiting in the chamber
sad the longing
patient waiting
Trusting fully
hard the jeering in the hall
The pure clear girl
The pure clear girl

The gentle hand
light descending
melody slow soft ascending
Deep within
calm reflection on the one
The gentle hand
The pure clear girl
The clear-browed one
