| Poor old pilgrim Misery | B |
| Beneath the silent moon he sate | C |
| A listening to the screech owl's cry | D |
| And the cold wind's goblin prate | C |
| Beside him lay his staff of yew | E |
| With withered willow twined | C |
| His scant grey hair all wet with dew | E |
| His cheeks with grief ybrined | E |
| And his cry it was ever alack | F |
| Alack and woe is me | B |
| - | |
| Anon a wanton imp astray | G |
| His piteous moaning hears | H |
| And from his bosom steals away | G |
| His rosary of tears | I |
| With his plunder fled that urchin elf | J |
| And hid it in your eyes | K |
| Then tell me back the stolen pelf | J |
| Give up the lawless prize | K |
| Or your cry shall be ever alack | F |
| Alack and woe is me | B |
