The young lover saw that she passed it, and
sigh'd,
Gillyflower, gentle rosemary;
They say his heart broke, and he certainly died,
While the dews fell over the mulberry tree.
Now all you fair ladies, take warning by this,
Gillyflower, gentle rosemary;
And never refuse your young lovers a kiss,
While the dews fall over the mulberry tree.
——Ed. Kenealy.
