Uther's Song for Portia

Ivone Pons Leyr
March, AS XXXVI (2002)

Lovely Portia, gentle Portia
Of all Beauty, Queen
Heart of my heart, though far apart
Yet my love is keen

I wish though wert here with me
How that I long for thee
My heart’s desire holds true
Unbidden now come the tears,
So far from one so dear
I am so lonely without you

Lovely Portia, gentle Portia
Of all Beauty, Queen
Heart of my heart, though far apart
Yet my love is keen

"Written at Uther’s request for his absent Queen, performed at Rowany [Festival, Lochac]." -- Ivone Pons Leyr
