There is a knock at the window
Suddenly I'm awake in a frenzy
It's 1am in this meadow
Why do I hear the wind howling with the words "Oh Annie"?
Alas! My hands quiver
All the candles are blown out
These ghosts make me shiver
I lay enclosed in my sheets to keep them out
A knock at the window, a tap on my pillow
Ah, every fright emptied
Tis my lover come to take me home
A glorious plight indeed
My lover dead and gone
Even so, longs for his amor
I've been swooned to the great beyond
With my Lover, I'll dine evermore.
