The Unquiet Grave (Child No. 78) |
Cold blows the wind to my true love, |
And gently drops the rain. |
I’ve never had but one true love, |
And in green-wood he lies slain. |
I’ll do as much for my true love, |
As any young girl may, |
I’ll sit and mourn all on his grave, |
For twelve months and a day. |
And when twelve months and a day was passed, |
The ghost did rise and speak, |
«Why sittest thou all on my grave |
And will no let me sleep?» |
«Go fetch me water from the desert, |
And blood from out the stone, |
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid’s breast |
That young man never has known.» |
«How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart, |
Where we were want to walk, |
The fairest flower that e’er I saw |
Has withered to a stalk.» |
«A stalk has withered and dead, sweetheart, |
The flower will never return, |
And since I’ve lost my own true love, |
What can I do but yearn.» |
«When will we meet again, sweetheart, |
When will we meet again?» |
«When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees |
Are green and spring up again.» |
