WESTPHALIAN SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: WHEN THOU TO MY TRUE LOVE COM'ST
Last Line: "SAY, I COME TOMORROW"
Subject(s): DEATH;GERMANY;HEARTS;HEAVEN;LOVE - LOSS OF; "DEAD, THE;GERMANS;PARADISE;"

When thou to my true-love com'st
Greet her from me kindly;
When she asks thee how I fare?
Say, folks in Heaven fare finely.

When she asks, 'What! Is he sick?'
Say, dead! -- and when for sorrow
She begins to sob and cry,
Say. I come to-morrow.
