----------------------...........
  There was a time, I thought of mine only.
  Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.
 I was noble personage, born  to beauti-fy  the page.
 If I  used time  to set it down.
  There was a time, I thought of mine only.
  Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.
 I was of high lineage, cast  up in a dreadful  age.
 Born to be the hermit  of my line.
 On a windy saturday,  St. Alban's market  day.
 Little did I know the work I was  to do,
 Or the love  I had to show.
  There was a time, I thought of mine only.
  Could it be, oc-curred to me while lonely.
 I was of high lineage, cast  up in a dreadful  age.
 Born to be the hermit  of my line.
