"My darling, I will make you
A coffin of marble white."
" Oh, tell me, will you robe me
In a shroud of lawn's fine stitch?"
"My darling, I will robe you
In a shroud of velvet rich."
"Oh, tell me, if my coffin new
You 'll trim with nails of brass?"
"My darling, on your coffin new
Gold nails shall be thick as grass."
