And quench the voice of death above my grave;

The day star in its flight will answer me.

LADY MAY.

You will know her, by her bonnet with the strings a-blowin’ out,

An’ a laylock she’s a wearin’ in her hair;

You will know her by the sunshine she’s a scatterin’ about,

An’ her whistle in the birches over there.

You will know her by her slippers, an’ the color of her eyes,

An’ the kisses on her pretty poutin’ lips;

You can tell her by her giggle, an’ her look o’ glad surprise,
