Here is the version inJack Downing
The Harper's Song

Summer eve is gone and past
Summer dew is fading fast
I have wandered all the day
Do not bid me further stray
Gentle folk of gentle kin
Let the wandering harper in

Bid me not in battlefield
Buckler lift or broadsword wield
All my strength and all my art
Is to touch the gentle heart
With the wizard notes that ring
From the peaceful minstrel string

I have song of war for knight
Lay of love for lady bright
Faery tale to warm the ear
Goblin grim the maids to scare
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid me further stray.
