She:
 Oh! Open the door, Lord Gregory,
 Oh open and let me in;
 The rain rains on my scarlet robes,
 The dew drops o'er my chin.
 
He:
 If you are the lass that I lov'd once,
 As I true you are but she,
 Come give me some of the tokens
 That past between you and me.

Composition:

    Set to music by Johanna Kinkel (1810 - 1858), "Oh! Open the Door, Lord Gregory", 1837/8
