"See! the white moon shines on high;

Whiter is my true love's shroud;

Whiter than the morning sky,

Whiter than the evening cloud.

My love is dead, &c.

"With my hands I'll fix the briars

Round her holy corse to gre (grow).

Elfin Faeries, light your fires;

Here my body still shall be.

My love is dead, &c.
