The solemn rooks around are flying,
Caw, Caw! Caw, Caw!
Beyond the fence in peace I sleep,
And soughing breezes kiss my grave.
I hear my name, and thou dost weep,
For I was fair and thou wert brave.
The elms overhead are sighing,
The solemn rooks around are flying,
Caw, Caw! Caw, Caw!
I hear thee coming through the gate,
