O carry her softly! the grave is made ready;

At head and at foot plant a laurel-bush green;

For she was a young and a sweet noble lady,

The fairest young bride that I ever have seen.

St. Margaret's Eve

I built my castle upon the sea-side,

The waves roll so gaily O,

Half on the land and half in the tide,

Love me true!
