Lyrics

Can you see the half moon rising
From the sea so dark and wide
Far beyond the east horizon
Lies an island on the tide
Where the land was fair and plenty
And the queen was fairer still
And she walked beside her noble king
On the green of Rysen Hill

Did you see the old moon sinking
On the sea so dark and wide
Far beyond the waves are breaking
On the shores of the Shining Isle
But the forests burned and blackened
And the land is ash and flame
And the king they say is fallen
And his warden brother slain

But the half moon light is given
By a sun no eye can see
And the day will conquer night again
By the Maker's good decree
And beneath the smoke and ruin
Lo, the land is fertile still
And a king one day will sing again
On the green of Rysen Hill
