W:The Wind doth blow today my love
W:And gently falls the rain
W:I never had but one true love
W:And in cold clay she is lain.
W:I'll do as much for my true love
W:As any young man may.
W:I'll sit and mourn upon her grave
W:For twelve months and a day.

W:When twelve months and a day were done
W:A voice began to speak
W:Who is it that sits upon my grave
W:And will not let me sleep?
W:Tis I, tis I, thine own true love
W:That sits upon your grave;
W:I came to seek of your sweet lips
W:Once kiss is all I crave.
W:

W:You seek one kiss of my clay cold lips
W:But my breath is earthy-strong
W:If you had one kiss of my lily-white lips
W:Your time would not be long.
W:My Time be long my time be short
W:Ten-thousand years or a day:
W:May God in heaven have all my soul,
W:But I’ll kiss your lips of clay.

W:See down in yonder garden green?
W:Love, where we were used to walk:
W:The fairest flower that e’er was seen
W:Is withered to the stalk.
W:The stalk is withered dry my love!
W:So shall our hearts decay!
W:So make yourself content my love,
W:Until death calls you away!
