Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEFEGG HHIIJJKK| Well if the thing is over better it is for me | A |
| The lad was ever a rover loving and laughing free | A |
| Far too clever a lover not to be having still | B |
| A lass in the town and a lass by the road and a lass by the farther hill | B |
| Love on the field and love on the path and love in the woody glen | C |
| Lad will I never see you never your face again | C |
| - | |
| Ay if the thing is ending now I'll be getting rest | D |
| Saying my prayers and bending down to be stilled and blest | D |
| Never the days are sending hope till my heart is sore | E |
| For a laugh on the path and a voice by the gate and a step | F |
| on the shieling floor | E |
| Grief on my ways and grief on my work and grief till the evening's dim | G |
| Lord will I never hear it never a sound of him | G |
| - | |
| Sure if it's done forever better for me that's wise | H |
| Never the hurt and never tears in my aching eyes | H |
| No more the trouble ever to hide from my asking folk | I |
| Beat of my heart at click o' the latch and throb if his name is spoke | I |
| Never the need to hide the sighs and the flushing thoughts and the fret | J |
| And after awhile my heart will hush and my hungering hands forget | J |
| Peace on my ways and peace in my step and maybe my heart grown light | K |
| Mary helper of heartbreak send him to me to night | K |
