Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Where are all those adoring, daring boys?
Where's the knight pining sore for me
He leaps to death in woe for me?
Oh, where are a maiden's simple joys?
Shan't I have the normal life a maiden should?
Shall I never be rescued in the wood?
Shall two knights never tilt for me
And let their blood be spilt for me?
Oh, where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Shall I never be disputed for
Or on any minstrel's lips?
Never have my face recruited for
Launching countless ships?
Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Are those sweet, gentle pleasures gone for good?
Shall a feud not begin for me?
Shall kith not kill their kin for me?
Oh, where are the trivial joys
Harmless, convivial joys?
Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
