    As one grew bright as is the Sun
  • So coal-black grew the other one
     
    A knight came riding to the lady's door
  • He travelled far to be their wooer
     
    He courted one with gloves and rings
  • But he loved the other above all things
     
    'Oh, Sister, won't you walk with me
  • To watch the ships sail on the sea?'
     
    She took her sister by the hand
  • And led her down to the North Sea strand
     
    But as they stood upon the windy shore
  • The dark girl threw her sister o'er
     
    At times she sank and at times she swam
  • Crying 'Sister, reach to me your hand.
     
    Oh, Sister! Sister! let me live
  • And all that's mine I'll freely give!'
     
    'Your own true love, that I'll have and more
  • But thou shalt never come ashore!'
     
    And there she floated like a swan
  • The salt sea bore her body on
     
    Two minstrels walked along the sand
  • And watched her body float to land
     
    They made a harp of her breastbone
  • whose song would melt a heart of stone
     
    They took three strands of her yellow hair
  • With which to string the harp so rare.
     
    And then they went to the lady's hall
  • To play the harp before them all
     
    But as they laid it upon the stone
  • The harp began to play alone
     
    The first string sang with a doleful sound
  • 'The bride her younger sister drown'd'
     
    The second string as that they tried
  • In terror sits the black haired bride
     
    The third string sang beneath their bow
  • And surely now her tears will flow.
