The sweet young Spring walks over the earth	A
It flushes and glows on moor and lea	B
The birds are singing in careless mirth	A
The brook flows cheerily on to the sea	B
And I know that the flowers are blooming now	C
Over my beautiful darling's brow	C
Blooming and blowing in perfume now	C
Over my poor lost darling's brow	C
	-
	-
The breath of the passionate Summer turns	D
The green of the hills to a deeper dye	E
The wind from the south land blows and burns	D
The sun grows red in the brazen sky	E
And I know that the long dank grasses wave	F
Over my beautiful darling's grave	F
Rise and fall and lift and wave	F
Over my darling's narrow grave	F
	-
	-
The days flow on and the summer dies	G
And glorious Autumn takes the crown	H
And toward the south the robin flies	G
And the green of the hills grows dull and brown	H
And the leaves all purple and gold and red	I
Drift over my precious darling's bed	I
Drift and flutter all gold and red	I
Over my darling's lowly bed	I
	-
	-
The Winter comes with its chilling snows	J
And wraps the world in a spotless shroud	K
And cold from the north the wild wind blows	J
And the tempest rages fierce and loud	K
It shrieks and sobs and sighs and weeps	L
Over the mound where my darling sleeps	L
In pity it sobs and sighs and weeps	L
Over the mound where my lost one sleeps	L
	-
	-
He was so young and fair and brave	F
The pride of my bosom my heart's best joy	M
And he lieth now in a drunkard's grave	F
My beautiful darling my only boy	M
But down in my heart of hearts I know	N
He has gone where his tempters never can go	N
To heaven his soul has gone I know	N
Where the soul of his tempters never can go	N
	-
	-
They charmed him into their licensed hell	O
They gave him rum and his eye grew wild	P
And lower and lower down he fell	O
Till they made a fiend of my precious child	P
May the curses of God fall on the soul	Q
Who gave my darling the poison bowl	Q
Ay curses dark and deep on the soul	Q
Who tempted my darling to lift the bowl	Q
