I have a slightly different translation on my version: Far away on the rock-coast of Scotland, Where the old grey castle projecteth Over the wild raging sea, There at the lofty and arched window, Standeth a woman beauteous, but ill, Softly transparent and marble pale; And she's playing her harp and she's singing, And the wind through her long locks forceth its way, And beareth her gloomy song Over the wide and tempest-toss'd sea.

Bleh. :-)
To me, far faster than this would just feel like doing a huge diservice to the song. I suppose my teacher thought this pace was fine (he never corrected it), that was a long time ago though. Play it at any speed you wish. Interpret it up the wazoo. :-)

Reminds me of Schubert's musical composition of "der erlkoenig". Pretty cool.
