- | |
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 |
