O SING unto my roundelayA
O drop the briny tear with meB
Dance no more at holydayC
Like a running river beB
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
-
Black his cryne as the winter nightC
White his rode as the summer snowD
Red his face as the morning lightC
Cold he lies in the grave belowD
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
-
Sweet his tongue as the throstle's noteC
Quick in dance as thought can beB
Deft his tabor cudgel stoutC
O he lies by the willow treeB
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
-
Hark the raven flaps his wingE
In the brier'd dell belowD
Hark the death owl loud doth singE
To the nightmares as they goD
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
-
See the white moon shines on highF
Whiter is my true love's shroudC
Whiter than the morning skyF
Whiter than the evening cloudC
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
-
Here upon my true love's graveG
Shall the barren flowers be laidC
Not one holy saint to saveG
All the coldness of a maidC
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
-
With my hands I'll dent the briersH
Round his holy corse to greB
Ouph and fairy light your firesH
Here my body still shall beB
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
-
Come with acorn cup and thornI
Drain my heartes blood awayJ
Life and all its good I scornI
Dance by night or feast by dayJ
nbsp nbsp nbsp My love is deadC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Gone to his death bedC
All under the willow treeB
