With rue my heart is laden Lyrics

        
         LIV
        
With rue my heart is laden
         For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
         And many a lightfoot lad.
        
By brooks too broad for leaping
         The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
         In fields where roses fade.

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
