   And when the bloom of early Spring
   Refresh my grave with genial showers
   The grateful offerings wilt thou bring
   And strew my clay cold bed with flowers
   And then e'er long you will be laid
   And there will meet the lovers
   On our grave their vows be paid
   And shed their tears our cold bed over
   Assisted by her faithful page
   His wish fulfilled his grave is covered
   Short she withstood keen sorrows rage
   Small time survived
