about

Written and performed by Colette the Bard

lyrics

Silver and Gold are not mine to give,
Yet for my love, I've only to live.
Cares he not for a sundry of things,
Gilded coins and numberless rings.

Silver and Gold are not mine to give,
Yet for my love, I've only to live.
Cares he not for a sundry of things,
Gilded coins and numberless rings.

Silvery sweet he says is my voice.
Golden my heart, for his own is my choice.
When cold grow the days with no finery worn,
From silvery snow will gold fire keep us warm.

Golden though be it, the sun soon does fade.
So short is the time when a girl is a maid.
But fear you, I shan't O Winter, you Crone!
I'll come and sit gladly on your silver throne.

Silver my hair will grow when at last the sun does fade.
Gold will my love see, in myriad shades,
For color is of no use at vision's end.
'Tis memories of silver and gold we shall tend.

Silver and Gold give no love at the last.
What use are these to those who have passed?
But my love and I shall into our final rest
Carry silver words and golden love and know ourselves blessed.

If I shall outlive you, my lover, my friend,
Then I will be there with you at Winter's end.
A golden shroud I'll weave for you from memory of life,
And two silver kisses I will place upon your eyes.
