On your midnight pallet lying,
Listen, and undo the door:
Lads that waste the light in sighing
In the dark should sigh no more;
Night should ease a lover's sorrow;
Therefore, since I go to-morrow,
Pity me before. 

On the land to which I travel,
The afar dwelling, let me say-
Once, if here the couch is gravel,
On a kinder bed I lay,
And the heart the darnel smothers
Rested once upon another's
When it was not day.
