Description

How cold the wind doth blow, dear love
How heavy falls the drops of rain
I never had but one true love
and in the green-woods she was slain
I'll do as much for my true love
as ever in my power doth lay
I will sit and mourn upon her grave
dear love, a twelve month and a day

When this 12th month was gone and passed
The ghost began to speak at the last
"Why sit you here all on my grave
sweetheart, and will not let me sleep?
Oh what is it you want of me
Sweetheart or what of me would have?"
"One kiss, one kiss from your snowy lips
is all I crave from you dear love"

"My lips they are so cold as clay
My breath it doth smell earthly and strong
If you were to kiss my snowy lips
sweetheart, your time it would not be long"
"Cold though your lips in death, dear love
One kiss, one kiss is all I crave
I care not if I kiss but thee
that I should share thy grave"

How cold the wind doth blow, dear love
How heavy falls the drops of rain
I never had but one true love
and in the green-woods she was slain
