My Night's Window- B. Wynkoop (OH) 1939 Eddy A
[My title. From: Eddy's "Ballads and Songs from Ohio" 1939.
R. Matteson 2016]
A. [My Night's Window.] From Miss Bernice Wynkoop, Canton, Ohio.
"Who is from my night's window,
Disturbing me from my night's rest?"
" 'Tis thy darling lover,
the one that you love best."
Go and ask your mother,
If my wed-ding bride you'll be."
"No, I know I dare not ask her,
For her answer will be, 'no.'"
Then he took a shining dagger,
Stabbed it through his aching heart;
"Farewell, darling, farewell,
Farewell, for we must part."
Then she took the bloody dagger,
Stabbed it through her snow-white breast;
"Farewell, mother, farewell, father,
Farewell, for we must part."
Said a mother to a father,
"What a mystery you have wrought,
Broke the lives of two young lovers,
Sent them to their homes above."
