24
Thou knowest I am living,
How can thy sleep be sound?
Old wrath revives and I sunder.
The bonds whereby I am bound.
Knowest thou the ancient ballad,
How a dead boy had power
To bear to his grave in the churchyard
His love at the midnight hour?
O child so wondrous lovely,
So wondrous sweet and fair:
I live, and am far stronger
Than ever dead men were!
How can thy sleep be sound?
Old wrath revives and I sunder.
The bonds whereby I am bound.
Knowest thou the ancient ballad,
How a dead boy had power
To bear to his grave in the churchyard
His love at the midnight hour?
O child so wondrous lovely,
So wondrous sweet and fair:
I live, and am far stronger
Than ever dead men were!
