Belle Isle Lyrics - Selfportrait - Bob Dylan

One evening for pleasure I rambled to view 

The fair fields all alone 

Down by the banks of Loch Eiron 

Where beauty and pleasure were known. 

I spied a fair maid at her labour 

Which caused me to stay for a while 

And I thought of a goddess to beauty 

Bloomin' bright star of Bright Isle. 

I humbled myself to her beauty 

"Fair maiden, where do you belong? 

Are you from heaven descended 

Abiding in Cupid's fair throne?"

"Young man, I will tell you a secret 

It's true I'm a maid that is poor 

And to part from my vows and my promise 

Is more than my heart can endure. 

Therefore I remain at my service 

And go through all my hardship and toil 

And wait for the lad that has left me 

All alone on the banks of Belle Isle" 

"Young maiden I wish not to banter 

It's true I come here in disguise 

I came here to fulfil our last promise 

And hope to give you a surprise.

I've known you're a maid I love dearly 

And you've been in my heart all the while 

For me there is no other damsel 

Than my bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle"
