I have snipped your wingspan 

My precious captive swan 

Here all clipped of (?) 

Your spirit won't last long 



Don't you lift a finger 

Don't you snap and jaw 

Limber limbs akimbo 

Rest till rubbing raw 



Oh my own true love! Oh my own true love! 

Can you hear me, love? Can you hear me, love? 



Don't hold out for rescue 

None can hear your call 

Till I have wrest and wrecked you 

Behind these fortress walls 



Oh my own true love! Oh my own true love! 

Can you hear me, love? Can you hear me, love?
