| A cypress bough and a rose wreath sweet | B |
| A wedding robe and a winding sheet | B |
| A bridal bed and a bier | C |
| Thine be the kisses maid | D |
| And smiling Love's alarms | E |
| And thou pale youth be laid | D |
| In the grave's cold arms | E |
| Each in his own charms | E |
| Death and Hymen both are here | C |
| So up with scythe and torch | F |
| And to the old church porch | F |
| While all the bells ring clear | G |
| And rosy rosy the bed shall bloom | H |
| And earthy earthy heap up the tomb | H |
| - | |
| Now tremble dimples on your cheek | I |
| Sweet be your lips to taste and speak | I |
| For he who kisses is near | G |
| For her the bride groom fair | J |
| In youthful power and force | K |
| For him the grizard bare | J |
| Pale knight on a pale horse | K |
| To woo him to a corpse | L |
| Death and Hymen both are here | C |
| So up with scythe and torch | F |
| And to the old church porch | F |
| While all the bells ring clear | G |
| And rosy rosy the bed shall bloom | H |
| And earthy earthy heap up the tomb | H |
