We met upon a mossy lane ‘Neath many a shady tree. We walked about and spoke of life As it were meant to be. My love and I, our lives were one He took my heart that day. I ne’r again need walk alone We’d be wed right away.

But on that night, he came to me, Said there, I should remain. Alas I felt that this was wrong; My love I’d not refrain. So out I went into the night In search of his dear soul And now my spirit roams these woods The Willows sing my song. Green willows mourn this day And whisper this sad tune A song of love and loss it be Until our great reun’n |
