Who is at my window? Who? Who?
Language: English
Who is at my window? Who? Who? Go from my window! Go! Go! Who callis thair, lyke a strangeir? Go from my window! Go! " Lord, I am hair, a wretchit mortall, That for thy mercy dois cry and call Unto thee, my lord celestiall, See who is at thy window, who? " Remember thy sin, and also thy smart, And also for thee what was my part, Remember the speir that pierced my hart, And in at my dure thou sall go. I ask na thing of thee thairfor, But love for love, to lay in store. Gif me thy hart, I ask no more, And in at my dure thou sall go. Who is at my window? Who? Go from my window! Go! Cry na mair thair, lyke a strangeir, But in at my dure thou go!
