"Hith-er, page, and stand by me, 
If thou know'st it, telling, 
Yonder peasant, who is he?  
Where and what his dwelling?" 
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,  
Un-der-neath the mountain; 
Right a-gainst the forest fence,  
By Saint Ag-nes’ fountain." 

"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,  
Bring me pine logs hither: 
Thou and I will see him dine,  
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went,  
Forth they went to-geth-er; 
Through the rude wind's wild la-ment  
And the bit-ter we-a-ther. 

"Sire, the night is darker now,  
And the wind blows stronger; 
Fails my heart, I know not how;  
I can go no  longer." 
"Mark my footsteps, good my page.  
Tread thou in them boldly 
Thou shalt find the winter's rage  
Freeze thy blood less cold-ly." 

This song plays with karaoke music run time 2:06.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
