Long evenings full on longing Low-spirited my mornings Full of longing too my nights And all times the bitterest. 'Tis my lovely I long for It is my darling I miss My black-browed one I grieve for.
Beneath the grass my treasure Under the sand my sweet one Beneath the grass my treasure Under the sand my sweet one
There's no hearing my treasure No seeing my marten-breat No hearing her in the lane Driving below the window Chopping the wood by the stack Clinking outside the cook-house In the eart my berry lies
Beneath the grass my treasure Under the sand my sweet one Beneath the grass my treasure Under the sand my sweet one
Long evenings full on longing Low-spirited my mornings Full of longing too my nights And all times the bitterest.
There's no hearing my treasure No seeing my marten-breat No hearing her in the lane Driving below the window Chopping the wood by the stack Clinking outside the cook-house In the eart my berry lies
In the soil she's mouldering Under the sand my sweet one Beneath the grass my treasure The one I grieve for.
