The wind doth howl today m'love   And a winter's worth of rain   
I never had but one true love   In cold grave she was lain   
Oh I adored my sweetest love   As any young man may   
So I'll sit and weep upon her grave   For twelve-month and a day   

One true love is eternity for two   Three four nevermore   Will I see my love true   

The twelve-month and a day foregone   The dead began to speak   
"Oh who sits weeping on my grave   And will not let me sleep?"   
"'Tis I, m'love, upon thy grave   Who will not let you sleep   
For I crave one kiss of your lips   And that is all I seek"   

"You crave one kiss of my cold lips   But I am one year gone   
If you have one kiss of my lips   Your time will not be long   
Let me remind thee, dearest one   A patient heart to keep   
For we professed eternal love   That lives though I may sleep"   

There down in yonder garden grove   Love, where we once did walk   
The finest flower that ever was seen   Has withered to a stalk   
The stalk is withered dry, my love   Though our hearts shan't decay   
So make yourself content, my love   Till god calls you away"
