SWEET MOTHER in a minute s spanA
Death parts thee and my love of theeB
Sweet love that yet art living manA
Come back true love to comfort meB
Back ah come back ah wellawayC
But my love comes not any dayD
-
As roses when the warm West blowsE
Break to full flower and sweeten springF
My soul would break to a glorious roseE
In such wise at his whisperingF
In vain I listen wellawayC
My love says nothing any dayD
-
You that will weep for pity of loveG
On the low place where I am lainH
I pray you having wept enoughI
Tell him for whom I bore such painH
That he was yet ah wellawayC
My true love to my dying dayD
