The poetry is just the right register for a ballad — not too simple, not too fancy. It tells the story, and the mode-shifting tune conveys just the right creepiness.
And this...
"Why do you take my love by force When you know my heart is already yours? But though you bind me to your will My duty holds me still."
Is so perfect! I would love to assemble an ensemble to back up your singing — guitar and flute or violin!
