There a shallow grave
By the oak in the woods
Is calling to my heart
Longing fills my breast
I can never rest
While we two are apart
Once a maiden fair
Her shadow lies there
And calls across the dark
They say ’twas a fever
But I know the reason
How her flesh became cold
Haunted by a past
That is dark that is vast
I hear her body groan
The night seems to frown
The stars don’t look down
Soon I’ll rest beside her bones
