He 's coming back at Easter, I : Or else at Trinity. : I
Trinity is long since passed, But Marlbrouk comes no more.
Madame mounts her tower stairs As high as she can climb. : I
Behold, his page approaches, And lo, he 's clad in black. |

" Madame, Marlbrouk is dead, Is dead and in the ground." : |

English Version
Marlbrook, the prince of commanders, Has gone to the war in Flanders, His fame is like Alexander's.
But when will he come home?
But when will he come home?
But when will he come home?
Cho. He won't come home till morning, He won't come home till morning, He won't come home till morning, Till daylight doth appear. |
