"the wind doth blow today , my love,
and a few small drops of rain;
I never had but one true-love,
in cold grave she was lain.
ill do as much for my true-love
as any young man may;
ill sit and mourn all at her grave
for a twelvemonth and a day."
the twelvemonth and a day being up,
the dead began to speak:
"oh who sit weeping on my grave,
and will not let me sleep?"
"tis I, my love, sits on your grave,
and will not let you sleep;
for I crave one kiss of your clay-cold lips,
and that is all I seek."
"you crave one kiss of my clay-cold lips,
but my breath smells earthy strong;
if you have one kiss of my clay-cold lips
your time will not be long."
"tis down in yonder garden green,
love, where we used to walk,
the finest flower that ere was seen
is withered dry to a stalk."
"the stalk is withered dry, my love,
so will our hearts decay;
so make yourself content, my love,
till I call you away."
